Abstract
A CMOS imager having an improved signal to noise ratio and improved dynamic range is disclosed. The CMOS imager provides improved charge storage by fabricating a storage capacitor in parallel with the photocollection area of the imager. The storage capacitor may be a flat plate capacitor formed over the pixel, a stacked capacitor or a trench imager formed in the photosensor. The CMOS imager thus exhibits a better signal-to-noise ratio and improved dynamic range. Also disclosed are processes for forming the CMOS imager.
