  • Publication number: 20210168320
    Abstract: The invention relates to charge-coupled TDI image sensors for the observation of one and the same image strip by multiple rows of pixels in succession with summation of the electric charge generated by an image point, for a row duration (TL ), in the pixels of the same rank of the various rows. According to the invention, the pixels are subdivided, in the direction of movement, into at least two adjacent portions (SUBai,j, SUBbi,j), each portion comprising at least one charge storage area that is independent of the storage areas of the other portion while allowing a transfer of charge from the first portion to the second, one of the portions (SUBai,j) being masked against light and the other portion (SUBbi,j) not being masked. The unmasked portion comprises a charge removal structure which is activated at a variable moment in time defining a start of actual integration that is independent of the start of a period of observing the image strip.

  • Patent number: 10798323
    Abstract: In an active pixel sensor comprising a photodiode Dp, a memory node MN and a readout node SN, the memory node being provided to contain the charge generated by the photodiode at the end of an integration period allowing an integration in global shutter mode and a correlated double sampling, it is envisaged to carry out, in each integration period, at least one transfer {circle around (2)} of charge from the photodiode to the memory node followed by clipping {circle around (3)} of the amount of charge contained in the memory node at an intermediate voltage t1 after the start of the integration period but before a last transfer of charge {circle around (4)} to the memory node at the end of the integration period. The pixels are subsequently read out, row by row, by correlated double sampling CDS.

  • Patent number: 10128298
    Abstract: The invention relates to color-image sensors. To benefit both from a good luminance resolution and a color accuracy that is not excessively degraded by the sensitivity of silicon to near-infrared radiation, the invention proposes to produce a mosaic of pixels comprising colored pixels (R), (G), (B), coated with color filters, which are distributed in the matrix, with white pixels (T) not coated with color filters and which are distributed in the matrix. The colored pixels include photodiodes constructed differently from the photodiodes of the white pixels, the different construction being such that the photodiodes of the colored pixels have a lower sensitivity to infrared radiation than the photodiodes of the white pixels.

  • Patent number: 10062725
    Abstract: The invention concerns active-pixel electronic image sensors. The pixel comprises a photodiode (PH) designed in a semiconductor active layer (12) and maintained at a nil reference potential, and above the active layer an anti-blooming gate (G5) adjacent on one side to the photodiode and on another side to an evacuation drain (22). The sensor comprises means for applying to the anti-blooming gate, during most of the duration of integration, a blocking potential creating beneath the gate a potential barrier of a first height, and, during a series of brief pulses over the duration of integration, an anti-blooming potential creating a potential barrier of a second height, lower than the first. The fact of only applying the anti-blooming voltage during the brief pulses reduces the dark noise induced by tunneling effect by the electric field between gate and photodiode.
