Patent abstract
A pixel array architecture having multiple pixel cells arranged in a split trunk pixel layout and sharing common pixel cell components. The array architecture increases the fill factor, and in turn, the quantum efficiency of the pixel cells. The common pixel cell components may be shared by a number of pixels in the array, and may include several components that are associated with the storage and readout of a signal from the pixel cells.
