Case Study of a Global Shutter CIS—Part 2: Parasitic Light Sensitivity

This article focuses on the parasitic light sensitivity (PLS) of a commercially available CMOS camera with a global shutter (with a storage node in the charge domain) and shared pixel architecture. The PLS is characterized as a function of both the wavelength and the incident angle of the incoming light. The measurement results are linked to the layout of the pixels to understand and explain the obtained characterization data.
