A Pump-Gate Jot Device With High Conversion Gain for a Quanta Image Sensor

A new photodetector designed for Quanta image sensor application is proposed. The photodetector is a backside-illuminated, buried photodiode with a vertically integrated pump and transfer gate and a distal floating diffusion to reduce parasitic capacitance. The structure features compact layout and high conversion gain. The proposed device is modeled and simulated, and its performance characteristics estimated.
