Abstract:
Pixel arrangements in time-of-flight sensors are presented that include sensing elements that establish charges related to incident light, charge storage elements that accumulate integrated charges transferred from the sensing elements, and diffusion nodes configured to establish measurement voltages representative of the integrated charges that are dumped from the charge storage elements. The pixel arrangement includes analog domain output circuitry comprising a measurement capacitance element that stores the measurement voltage, and a reset capacitance element that stores a reset voltage established at the diffusion node during a reset phase performed prior to a measurement phase. The analog domain output circuitry subtracts the stored reset voltage from the stored measurement voltage for processing into a pixel output voltage that at least partially reduces readout voltage uncertainty of the pixel arrangement.

Claim (Index 3):
The pixel arrangement of  claim 2 , wherein the charge storage element comprises a polysilicon capacitor element formed with an underlying p-type dopant well of a higher p-type doping level than a semiconductor substrate associated with the pixel arrangement; and\n wherein a bias on the charge storage element establishes a higher potential level than the bias potential of the bias gate element to provide the pathway for at least the portion of the charges established at the polysilicon sensing element to be transferred to the charge storage element from the polysilicon sensing element.
