Subthreshold Operation of Photodiode-Gated Transistors Enabling High-Gain Optical Sensing and Imaging Applications

In optical sensors and imagers, high gain that leads to high sensitivity and high signal to noise ratio (SNR) is often desirable. One popular approach is avalanche photomultiplication initiated by impact ionization in an avalanche photodiode or similar devices and the other approach is active pixel...
