20090108385 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IMPROVING CROSSTALK AND SENSITIVITY IN AN IMAGER - A pixel sensor cell includes a substrate of a first conductivity type, and a photoconversion region. The photoconversion region includes a pinning layer of the first conductivity type for receiving incident light of multiple colors, and a diode implant layer of a second conductivity type, disposed below the pinning layer, for accumulating photo-generated charge. Also included is a deep well of the first conductivity type, disposed below the diode implant layer, for rejecting at least one color of the incident light. The deep well includes a doped region, vertically disposed at a predetermined depth below the diode implant layer. The diode implant layer is effective in accumulating photo-generated charge of a blue color, and the deep well is effective in rejecting photo-generated charges of green and red colors from the diode implant layer. By placing the deep well at another predetermined depth below the diode implant layer, the deep well is effective in rejecting photo-generated charge of a red color from the diode implant layer. | 04-30-2009 |
20090147091 | Method, apparatus and system for image stabilization using a single pixel array - An imaging pixel array and associated method and system are disclosed in which the array contains first pixels each having a first photo-conversion device, and second pixels each having a first photo-conversion device and a second photo-conversion device. The first photo-conversion devices are configured to acquire an image during a first integration period. The second photo-conversion devices are configured to acquire a plurality of images during the first integration period. A circuit uses the plurality of image signals and determines from them relative motion between the array and an image during a portion of the first integration period and provides a signal representing the motion which is used for image stabilization. | 06-11-2009 |
20120195521 | ROW NOISE FILTERING - Apparatus and a method for processing image data where row data is received corresponding to a target row of pixels and to one or more reference rows of pixels. A target row average is generated based on the target row data and a reference row average is generated for each of the one or more reference rows based on each reference row's respective row data. A row correction value is generated based on the target row average of the target row and the reference row average of the one or more reference rows. Corrected target row data is generated by applying the row correction value to the target row data. | 08-02-2012 |

20090057537 | PIXEL WITH SPATIALLY VARYING SENSOR POSITIONS - An image sensor including a substrate, at least one metal layer, and a plurality of pixels arranged in array. Each pixel includes a sense element disposed in the substrate and at least one metal interconnect segment disposed in the at least one metal layer. The array includes a pair of perpendicular axes extending from an optical center, wherein for a line of pixels extending perpendicularly from one of the axes to a peripheral edge of the array a spacing between the sense elements of consecutive pairs of pixels of the line is at least equal to a spacing between the associated at least one metal interconnect segments, and wherein for at least one consecutive pair of pixels of the line the spacing between the sense elements is greater by an incremental amount than the spacing between the corresponding at least one metal interconnect segments. | 03-05-2009 |

20120133794 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING SHIFTABLE COLUMN CIRCUITRY OF IMAGER PIXEL ARRAYS - This is generally directed to systems and methods for providing shiftable column circuitry for a pixel array of an imaging system. Columns of a pixel array can be switchably coupled (e.g., through multiplexers) to their default column circuitry as well as coupled to one or more instances of a neighboring column's column circuitry. In response to an instance of default column circuitry being identified as defective, its corresponding column may “shift” and choose to couple to the neighboring column circuitry. Similarly, all following columns may also shift and couple to a neighboring column circuitry. In some embodiments, the defective column circuitry can be identified during wafer testing and identifying information (e.g., an address) of the defective column circuitry stored in memory. The identifying information may then be accessed from memory and, during an image signal readout phase, used to suitably shift the columns to avoid the defective column circuitry. | 05-31-2012 |
