Abstract

A closed-form and explicit 2-D analytical model for crosstalk(CTK) effects in p-n <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">+</sup> CMOS photodiodes for pixel design optimization has been developed in this paper. This model complements and extends a previous development describing the photocurrent because of the active area illumination along with the lateral depletion region and lateral components owing to the diffused photocarriers from the surroundings of the junction. The model has very few fitting parameters because it is physically based. Similarly, it can be of great use for CMOS image sensors designers, especially to fulfill high resolution and small area requirements by pixel size reduction. The model was validated extensively through device simulations with ATLAS and experimental data, and describes the CTK dependencies on light conditions and physical, geometrical, and process parameters.
