  9. A typical 3T pixel

  10. 4T Architecture

  11. 4T Shared Pixel Architecture

  12. Pixel-level charge summation for sub-sampling. [2]

  13. Sum of signal = Sum of noise = By pixel summation SNR increase by 3dB [2]

  14. By clumn wise averanging SNR increase by 3dB Average signal = Average noise = Savg Ramp Gen. Savg [2]

  15. Old and new GNOX process; improvement of random noise by reducing the trap effect on SF transistor. [2],[4]

  16. Increase light gathering power by 20% pixel height shrink [2]

  17. SNR Increase With New Sub-Sampling [2]

  18. Implementation of average filter by MATLAB software Use average filtering Original image

  19. Implementation of average filter by MATLAB software Use average filtering Original image

  20. 4-shared pixel architecture High fill factor (57%) • with SNR max of 41dB under the full-resolution operation. • Pixel level charge summation • Increase 6dB in SNR • Noise reduction technology • SF trap treatment to reduce 1/f noise
