Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A solid-state image sensing device is configured such that a first voltage is applied to a first conductivity type semiconductor region and a second voltage is applied to source-drain regions having a second conductivity type of the MOS capacitance to apply inverse bias between the semiconductor region and the source-drain regions of the MOS capacitance.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A solid-state image sensing device having a semiconductor integrated circuit (IC), comprising the IC, the IC comprising: a P type semiconductor region; a N type photodiode formed in at the semiconductor surface P well region; and a pixel including an N type floating diffusion accumulating electrons generated by the photodiode and an enhancement type metal-oxide semiconductor (MOS) capacitance, the MOS capacitance being additional capacitance of the float…
