摘要: A solid-state imaging apparatus includes: an overflow element group that accumulates a signal charge that overflows from a photodiode; and a floating diffusion layer that selectively holds a signal charge transferred from the photodiode and a signal charge transferred from the overflow element group. The overflow element group includes m groups (m≥2) connected in series in stages, each group including an overflow element and a storage capacitive element. An overflow element among the groups transfers, to the storage capacitive element included in the same group as the overflow element, a signal charge that overflows from the photodiode or a signal charge from an upstream storage capacitive element among the groups.

摘要: A photodetector comprises a semiconductor substrate having an input surface for receiving illumination, control electrodes for control of photogenerated charge within the substrate and a filter on the radiation input surface of the substrate, the filter comprising a dielectric-metal band pass filter having a metal layer and one or more dielectric layers with one dielectric layer between the substrate surface and the metal layer. A connector is provided for applying a bias voltage to the metal layer with respect to the substrate. In effect, the metal layer of the band pass filter provides two functions. The first function is as part of the ITF filter selecting the wavelength desired for the device. The second function is as a conductive layer allowing a bias to be provided between the substrate and the metal layer thereby producing a field within the surface of the substrate to which the filter is applied.

摘要: An image sensor is provided to include an active region which comprises: a floating diffusion region; a transfer transistor gate region; transistor active regions; and a well-tap region. The transfer transistor gate region may have a diagonal bar shape to isolate the floating diffusion region in a first corner of the active region. The well-tap region may be positioned between the transfer transistor gate region and the transistor active regions, and isolate the transfer transistor gate region from the transistor active regions.

摘要: A distance-measuring imaging device includes: a drive controller that outputs a light emission signal and an exposure signal; a light source; a solid-state imager that performs exposure to reflected light; and a TOF calculator that calculates a distance to an object using an imaging signal. The drive controller: cyclically outputs a first exposure signal group in which, before an exposure period of one exposure signal ends, an exposure period of at least one other exposure signal starts; and outputs a second exposure signal group having a dead zone period during which all exposure signals are in a non-exposure period. The TOF calculator calculates a first distance value using a first imaging signal obtained according to the first exposure signal group, calculates a second distance value using a second imaging signal obtained according to the second exposure signal group, and calculates the distance based on the first and second distance values.
