    Abstract: An image sensor includes pixels formed on a semiconductor substrate. Each pixel includes a photoactive region in the semiconductor substrate, a sense node, and a power supply node. A first electrode is disposed near a surface of the semiconductor substrate. A bias signal on the first electrode sets a potential in a region of the semiconductor substrate between the photoactive region and the sense node. A second electrode is disposed near the surface of the semiconductor substrate. A bias signal on the second electrode sets a potential in a region of the semiconductor substrate between the photoactive region and the power supply node. The image sensor includes a controller that causes bias signals to be provided to the electrodes so that photocharges generated in the photoactive region are accumulated in the photoactive region during a pixel integration period, the accumulated photocharges are transferred to the sense node during a charge transfer period, and photocharges generated in the photoactive region are transferred to the power supply node during a third period without passing through the sense node. The imager can operate at high shutter speeds with simultaneous integration of pixels in the array. High quality images can be produced free from motion artifacts. High quantum efficiency, good blooming control, low dark current, low noise and low image lag can be obtained.

    Abstract: A real-time digital cytometer on a chip system utilizing a custom near field CMOS active pixel intelligent sensor that is flip-chip attached to a fluidic microchannel etched in a thin glass substrate. The CMOS active pixel sensor, fabricated using a 0.18 micron process, is a mixed signal chip comprising a sixteen pixel linear adaptive spatial filter coupled to a digital serial interface. This near field hybrid digital sensor topology obviates the need for both high resolution analog to digital conversion as well as conventional microscopy for the realization of real time optical cytometry. The custom sensor based design approach affords efficient scaling into a tiled multi-channel sensing configuration. The complete system, supported by a handheld graphical user interface and control module, demonstrates a viable micro total analysis sub-system for sample preparation and analysis which can support a wide range of applications ranging from cytometry to cell growth kinetics and analysis and various forms of fluid and droplet metering on an integrated and compact microfluidic platform.

    Abstract: Designs and operational methods to increase the dynamic range of image sensors and APS devices in particular by achieving more than one integration times for each pixel thereof. An APS system with more than one column-parallel signal chains for readout are described for maintaining a high frame rate in readout. Each active pixel is sampled for multiple times during a single frame readout, thus resulting in multiple integration times. The operation methods can also be used to obtain multiple integration times for each pixel with an APS design having a single column-parallel signal chain for readout. Furthermore, analog-to-digital conversion of high speed and high resolution can be implemented.
