Abstract
Pixel devices and arrays of pixel devices are operable to demodulate modulated light incident on a photo-detection region of the pixel devices. The pixel devices can include floating diffusion implant layers and transfer gates. The floating diffusion implant layers and transfer gates are disposed such that photo-generated charge carriers can be conducted to the floating diffusion implant layers over minimal charge-carrier transport paths.
