Case Study of a Global Shutter CIS—Part 1: Angular Dependency of the Light Sensitivity

This article focuses on the angular dependency of the light sensitivity of a commercially available CMOS camera with a global shutter (storage node (SG) in the charge domain) and shared pixel architecture. The angular dependency is characterized as a function of both the wavelength and the angle of incidence of the incoming light. The measurement results are linked to the layout of the pixels as a means to explain the obtained characterization data.
