  • Time-of-flight Pixel With Charge Storage
    Publication number: 20240038790
    Abstract: The invention relates to a light transit time pixel comprising —at least one modulation gate (GA, GB) which has a photoactive region (FAB) and a storage region (MA, MB), said storage region (MA, MB) having a locally increased n-type doping below the modulation gate (GA, GB) and delimiting the photoactive region (FAB) of the modulation gate (GA, GB), —at least one transfer gate (TXA, TXB) which adjoins the storage region (MA, MB) of the modulation gate (GA, GB), —at least one reading diode (DA, DB) which follows the transfer gate (TXA, TXB), —at least one drain gate (DG) which adjoins one side of the light-sensitive region (FAB) of the modulation gate (GA, GB), and —at least one drain diode (DD) which follows the drain gate (DG).
