Abstract: A solid-state image sensor has a readout architecture that
incorporates charge multiplier cells into a horizontal register
of a CCD image sensor, and includes a first CCD register adjacent
to at least a second CCD register and coupled to the said first
register through a charge overflow barrier. A high Dynamic Range
readout system results in which the DR is not restricted by the
voltage swing limitations on the charge detection node. As the
charge is multiplied, the horizontal register structure
increases in width and more charge multiplication gates are added
per stage. A charge overflow region follows the charge
multiplier. In this region the amount of charge that exceeds a
certain predetermined threshold is split off into another
register. A detection node that has different conversion
sensitivity may terminate this register. The process of charge
overflow and splitting off may continue for more than two steps.
