ABSTRACT:
The image sensor is comprised of an array of operative bipolar transistors. Another array of optically shielded dummy bipolar transistors are formed adjacently to the operative bipolar transistors. Reset switches are connected to base regions of the operative and dummy bipolar transistors so as to reduce variation in dark image output, to ensure linearity of output signal, and to eliminate image storage.
