Abstract:
The invention concerns a pixel of an image array comprising one or more charge storage structures ( 200 ), each charge storage structure comprising: a first charge storage trench ( 202 ) doped to have a first conductivity type and having a first end ( 208 ) configured to receive charge accumulated by a photodiode; a second charge storage trench ( 204 ) doped to have the first conductivity type; and a first transfer gate ( 212 ) linking a second end ( 214 ) of the first charge storage trench ( 202 ) and the second charge storage trench ( 202, 204 ) to a sense node ( 216 ), wherein the first and second charge storage trenches are linked together by a linking channel ( 206 ) doped to have the first conductivity type and bordering a portion of an edge of the transfer gate ( 212 ).

Claim (Index 13):
A method of fabricating a pixel of an image array, the method comprising forming one or more charge storage structures, each charge storage structure being formed by:\n forming a first charge storage trench doped to have a first conductivity type and having a first end configured to receive charge accumulated by a photodiode; forming a second charge storage trench doped to have the first conductivity type; and forming a first transfer gate linking a second end of the first charge storage trench, and the second charge storage trench, to a sense node, wherein the first and second charge storage trenches are linked together by a linking channel doped to have the first conductivity type and bordering a portion of an edge of the transfer gate.
