摘要
A global shutter image sensor may include an array of image sensor pixels. Each pixel may have a photodiode, a charge storage region, low light level circuitry and high light level circuitry. During high light level conditions, some charge generated by the photodiode may be diverted to the high light level circuitry and the remainder may be transferred to the low light level circuitry. During low light level conditions, all of the generated charge may be transferred to the low light level circuitry. A light shielding structure may be formed over the charge storage region. The circuit components of each pixel may be divided between first and second chips. By forming the components on separate chips and by implementing high light level circuitry, the size of the charge storage region may be reduced while preserving the high dynamic range and low noise of the image sensor during all illumination conditions.
