ABSTRACT:
A large image sensor structure is created by tiling a plurality of image sensor dies, wherein each of the image sensor dies includes a pixel array that extends to three edges of the die, and control circuitry located along a fourth edge of the die. None of the control circuitry required to access the pixel array (e.g., none of the row driver circuitry) is located in the pixel array, thereby enabling consistent spacing of pixels across the pixel array. Because the pixel array of each image sensor die extends to three edges of the die, the pixel array of each image sensor die can abut up to three pixel arrays in other image sensor dies to form a large image sensor structure having 2×N tiled image sensor dies.
