Abstract

L'invention concerne un système de prise d'images de diverses sensibilités en simultané, qui utilise à la fois un capteur d'image et une partie auxiliaire à ce capteur d'image. L'élément capteur d'image peut être une grille photonique et la partie auxiliaire peut être la diffusion flottante coordonnée à cette grille photonique. La grille photonique et la diffusion flottante stockent tous les deux de la charge. Ces deux éléments sont échantillonnés à différents moments. La diffusion flottante permet d'obtenir une quantité de charge de sensibilité inférieure à celle de la grille photonique. Le système peut comporter une grille photonique et une diffusion flottante dans chaque pixel et aussi un transistor de sélection, un transistor de remise à l'état initial, ainsi qu'un transistor suiveur. L'ensemble de ce circuit peut être composé de CMOS, par exemple. Ce système peut également fonctionner en mode colonne/parallèle, dans lequel chaque colonne de l'ensemble photo-capteur peut posséder un processeur de signal de colonne qui échantillonne et retient le signal de remise à l'état initial, le signal de la diffusion flottante ainsi que le signal de la grille photonique.
