Abstract

The blue signal of a CMOS-based color pixel is increased with respect to the red and green signals by lowering the doping concentration of the surface regions of the pn-junction photodiodes that are used in the blue imaging cells with respect to the surface regions of the pn-junction photodiodes that are used in the red and green imaging cells.
