Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductors, in particular to a CMOS image sensor. Background technique [0002] The image sensor is an important part of the digital camera, which can be divided into two categories: CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor, Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor) image sensor and CCD (Charge Coupled Device, Charge Coupled Device) image sensor. Compared with CCD image sensors, CMOS image sensors have many advantages such as low cost, low power consumption, and high integration, and are widely used in various electronic products. [0003] In the prior art, the structure of the pixel unit of the CMOS image sensor is as follows figure 1 As shown, it mainly includes a photodiode 1 for photoelectric signal conversion, a floating point diffusion area 2 for accumulating photogenerated electrons generated in the photodiode 1; a floating point diffusion area 2 for resetting the floating point diffusion ...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, in the above-mentioned CMOS image sensor, the floating diffusion area (Floating Diffusion, referred to as FD) has a large volume, so the number of electrons that can be accommodated is relatively large, and the number of electrons that need to be filled is also relatively large; This will lead to a longer response time of the CMOS image sensor, which will adversely affect the speed and sensitivity of its response.
