ABSTRACT:
CMOS image sensors have charge storage capacitors connected to various light sensitive and/or electrical elements. The capacity of the capacitors used for each pixel is tailored to the color to be detected. Charge storage capacitors may be formed entirely over a filed oxide region of the CMOS imager, entirely over an active area of a pixel sensor cell, or partially over a field oxide region and partially over an active pixel area of a pixel sensor cell.
