A multi-gate source-follower (MGSF) is introduced to simultaneously reduce 1/f noise and
increase pixel conversion gain. 1/f noise generally deteriorates as the SF size becomes
smaller although the conversion gain benefits from the scaling. The MGSF can alter this
tradeoff and make a low-noise high-conversion-gain QIS achievable. This work paves the
way to further reduce the floating diffusion referred read noise in CMOS image sensors and
QIS.

The MGSF can alter this tradeoff and make a low-noise high-conversion-gain QIS achievable.
