Abstract :
The Monte Carlo method is used to evaluate the extent of the crosstalk in solid-state imagers. The calculations are performed in three dimensions and are in excellent agreement with experiment. The Monte Carlo method is used because it handles adjacent regions that either collect or reflect minority carriers.
