• abstract: We demonstrate the first ever 0.9µm pitch pixel CMOS image sensor(CIS), and reveal the problems that are likely to be encountered in future device structures. We have developed a set of guidelines for the design of high quantum efficiency(QE) CISs, and verified their validity by comparing the image quality of 0.9, 1.12, 1.4 and 1.75µm CISs. Furthermore, we propose a simple methodology to optimize more complicated submicron pitch CIS structures.
