Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a first type of light sensing units, where each instance of the first type of light sensing units is operable to receive a first amount of radiation; and a second type of light sensing units, where each instance of the second type of light sensing units is operable to receive a second amount of radiation, and the second type of light sensing units is arranged in an array with the first type of light sensing units to form a pixel sensor. The first amount of radiation is smaller than the second amount of radiation, and at least a first instance of the first type of light sensing units is adjacent to a second instance first type of light sensing unit.
