This paper presents a BSI(backside-illumination) 14μm-pixel QVGA CMOS image sensor SOC(System On a Chip) measuring TOF(Time-Of-Flight) by 20MHz-intensity modulation of 850nm-wavelength light. The 34% of overall QE(Quantum Efficiency) at 850nm-wavelength is acquired by BSI structure and optimized micro-lens. The DE(Depth Error) less than 1.5% within 6m is achieved with imaging lens of f/1.2 and LED array of which the optical intensity is 0.6W/m 2 at 1m-distance. Additionally, the depth linearity is measured as that the coefficient of determination is equal to 0.9999. In order to operate under background light illumination on a scene, dual CG(Conversion Gain) scheme is implemented in each pixel.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
