Pixelwise Camera Chip

Caption

In this image adapted from the figures, the left side shows the chip micrograph, while the right side displays the pixel layout and schematics, highlighting each circuit element. The new pixel circuit uses only two additional transistors (T5 and T6) compared to the conventional CMOS pixel. This minimalist design allows for independent programming of pixel exposures without sacrificing photodiode area to the circuits, ensuring high sensitivity under low light conditions.
