• abstract: The intensive development of Single-photon avalanche photodiode (SPAD) based CMOS image sensors (CIS) continues, with rapid progress [1-6]. Yet, due to unestablished quenching operation [5,6], realization of SPADs onto a CIS alongside conventional pixel circuitry has been a fundamental challenge.
