Abstract
An image sensor device is disclosed. The image sensor device includes a substrate having a plurality of pixel regions. The image sensor device also includes a first photodiode in a first pixel region, a source follower transistor coupled to the first photodiode, and a select transistor coupled to the source follower transistor. One of the source follower transistor and the select transistor is in a second pixel region that is different from the first pixel region. While the source follower and the select transistor can be allocated to different cells, either the source follower or the select transistor or both can be further allocated or split into different cells.
