Abstract:
Each pixel of a global shutter back-side illuminated image sensor includes a photosensitive area. On a front surface, a first transistor includes a vertical ring-shaped electrode penetrating into the photosensitive area and laterally delimiting a memory area. The memory area penetrates into the photosensitive area less deeply than the insulated vertical ring-shaped electrode. A read area is formed in an intermediate area which is formed in the memory area. The memory area, the intermediate area and read area define a second transistor having an insulated horizontal electrode forming a gate of the second transistor. The memory area may be formed by a first and second memory areas and an output signal is generated indicative of a difference between charge stored in the first memory area and charge stored in the second memory area after a charge transfer to the first memory area.

Claim (Index 1):
An image sensor, comprising:\n a plurality of pixels, each pixel comprising a photosensitive area, a first memory area, a second memory area; a first insulated electrode configured to control a charge transfer from the photosensitive area to the first memory area; and a second insulated electrode configured to control a charge transfer from the photosensitive area to the second memory area; and a circuit configured, for each pixel, to supply an output signal indicative of a difference between charge stored in the first memory area and charge stored in the second memory area after said charge transfer from the photosensitive area to the first memory area.
