Pixel Level Characterization of Pinned Photodiode and Transfer Gate Physical Parameters in CMOS Image Sensors

A method to extract the pinned photodiode (PPD) physical parameters inside a CMOS image sensor pixel array is presented. The proposed technique is based on the Tan et al. pinning voltage characteristic. This pixel device characterization can be performed directly at the solid-state circuit output wi...
