  • Abstract
    This paper designs and tests a series of high speed four-transistor Pixels with 0.13μm CMOS process. The prototype sensor contains 256×128 pixels with 8 different pixel architectures. Pixel size is 10μm×10μm. The measured sensitivity is 17.3V/lux·s, conversion gain is 49.6μV/e-, non-linearity is 3.6%, read noise is 23e- and dynamic range is 60dB. The optimizing design effectively improves the performance of high speed four-transistor Pixel.
