• abstract: This paper briefly reviews CMOS image sensor invention and development. The focus of the paper is on a possible successor - the Quanta Image Sensor - a photon-counting image sensor that operates at room temperature without avalanche multiplication. Experimental results with 1Mpixel array devices are described.
