Abstract

See full text

A storage pixel sensor disposed on a semiconductor substrate comprises a photosensor. At least one nonlinear capacitive element is coupled to the photosensor. At least one nonlinear capacitive element is arranged to have a compressive photocharge-to-voltage gain function. An amplifier has an input coupled to the nonlinear capacitor and an output. Other, non-capacitive elements may be employed to produce a compressive photo-charge-to-voltage gain having at least one breakpoint.
