Abstract:
Described herein is an electronic device that includes a first integrated circuit die having formed therein at least one photodiode and readout circuitry to convert charge generated by the at least one photodiode to a read voltage and to selectively output the read voltage. A second integrated circuit die is in a stacked arrangement with the first integrated circuit die and has formed therein storage circuitry to selectively transfer the read voltage to at least one storage capacitor for storage as a stored voltage and to selectively transfer the stored voltage to an output. The at least one storage capacitor is formed from a capacitive deep trench isolation. There is an interconnect between the first and second integrated circuit dies for coupling the readout circuitry to the storage circuitry.

Claim (Index 4):
The electronic device of  claim 1 , wherein:\n the readout circuitry formed in the first integrated circuit die comprises:\n a floating diffusion capacitor; \n a transfer gate transistor configured to selectively transfer charge generated by the at least one photodiode to the floating diffusion capacitor as the read voltage; \n a first source follower configured to stabilize and output the read voltage; and \n an active load transistor coupled between the first source follower and a bias voltage; and \n the storage circuitry formed in the second integrated circuit die comprises:\n first, second, third, and fourth storage capacitors; \n first, second, third, and fourth switch transistors respectively configured to transfer the read voltage output by the first source follower to the first, second, third, and fourth storage capacitors as a stored voltage; and \n second, third, fourth, and fifth source followers respectively configured to stabilize and output the stored voltage from the first, second, second, and third storage capacitors to the output.
