Abstract
Anti-blooming control in overflow image sensor pixel. At least one example is an image sensor pixel comprising: a photodetector positioned in a semiconductor substrate; a gate oxide layer positioned on the semiconductor substrate; a floating diffusion; a transfer gate positioned on the gate oxide layer; a first anti-blooming implant positioned in the semiconductor substrate, wherein the first anti-blooming implant is coupled to the photodetector and the floating diffusion; and a second anti-blooming implant positioned in the semiconductor substrate, wherein the second anti-blooming implant is coupled to the photodetector and a voltage source contact.
