Abstract
An image sensor comprising a semiconductor substrate and pixel cell circuitry is described. The semiconductor substrate includes a first side and a second side opposite the first side. The pixel cell circuitry is disposed proximate to the first side of the semiconductor substrate. The pixel cell circuitry includes an arrangement of individual groups of components, each including a reset gate, a source-follower gate, and a row select gate. The individual groups of components included in the pixel cell circuitry includes a first group and a second group adjacent to the first group, and wherein the source-follower gate of the first group is disposed adjacent to the source-follower gate of the second group.
