Abstract

Various embodiments of the present technology may comprise a method and device for a multi-source/drain transistor for use in an image sensor. The device may comprise an active region, wherein the active region comprises three doped regions. Two of the three doped region may be floating diffusion active regions, wherein each floating diffusion active region is connected to a photosensitive element. The device may comprise a multi-branch channel defined by the area underlying a gate region and substantially surrounded by the doped regions. During operation the electron path may form an 'L' shape within the channel.
