This article reviews nearly 60 years of solid-state image sensor evolution and identifies
potential new frontiers in the field. From early work in the 1960s, through the development of …

The quanta image sensor (QIS) is a photon-counting image sensor that has been
implemented using different electron devices, including impact ionization-gain devices, such …

Because of various purposes and high dynamic range (HDR) of brightness of objects in
automotive applications, HDR image capture is a primary requirement. In this article, HDR …

Superior low-light and high dynamic range (HDR) imaging performance with ultra-high pixel
resolution are widely sought after in the imaging world. The quanta image sensor (QIS) …

We present the results of a radiation test program for a 1-megapixel single-photon-counting
and photon-number-resolving CMOS image sensor. The results include pre-and post …

This paper describes the underlying technology in complementary metal‐oxide‐
semiconductor (CMOS) image sensors. The invention of CMOS image sensors with intra …

We present an imaging pixel featuring dual conversion gain in a single exposure based on
the pinned photodiode (PPD). The signal charge is first converted to voltage …

Abstract A 1.26-inch optical-format, 40.7 mega-pixel Quanta Image Sensor (QIS) is reported
in this paper. The sensor achieves reliable photon-counting capability with a deep-sub …

An adaptive thresholds algorithm is proposed in this letter, which is used to determine the
global optimal thresholds for multi-bit quanta image sensor (MB-QIS). Firstly, the senor …
