Hi everyone,

Does anybody has any idea how to simulate the photogate APS?

I searched through the whole site. I found some discussions on photodiode.

But PD is different from PG. PG is like MOS capacitor with floating source. The drain of the PG is also the source of a TX transistor, And there is also a floating diffusion (FD).

So how to do the simulation for this PG in Cadence Spectre??

Can anybody help with this?

Thanks a lot.
 

What aspect(s) of the circuit or device related phenomena in APS would you like to simulate?
 

My intend is to design a CMOS image sensor.

Current I am still on the initial stage.

I am trying to investigate the difference between photogate and photodiode.

Probably I am going to do some simulations first. So I am wondering how to simulate the photogate in Cadence?

I got a design kit from the foundary.
 

I have the same query. I am trying to design a APS CMOS image sensor and would appreciate your inputs.
FYKI my lab has cadence 1.6
