Abstract

A wide dynamic-range (DR) pixel-level CMOS image sensor with self-reset technique has been fabricated using a 0.18-mum six-metal CMOS technology and tested to verify simultaneous increase of both DR and peak signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). It provides a continuous peak SNR enhancement over a strong incident light range. Maximum achievable DR is measured over 71.1 dB, and SNR keeps increasing at 7.3 dB/decade beyond conventional CMOS image sensors.
