ABSTRACT:
MOS imaging pixels are described. The MOS imaging pixels may comprise bootstrapped source followers, having their bodies connected to their sources. The source followers of the MOS imaging pixels may be used to buffer a signal indicative of an amount of radiation incident on the pixel. MOS imagers are also described, which may comprise one or more MOS imaging pixels of the type described.
