Thin organic photoconductive film image sensors with extremely high saturation of 8500 electrons/µm2

We have developed an image sensor with thin organic photoconductive film (OPF) laminated on CMOS circuits. Owing to high capacity of a charge storage node, the saturation level is 12 dB higher than those of conventional image sensors. Because of the very thinness of the laminated film, i.e. 0.5 μm, the device is crosstalk-free and an incident light angle of over 30 degrees is realized.
