Analytical Modeling and TCAD Simulation of a Quanta Image Sensor Jot Device With a JFET Source-Follower for Deep Sub-Electron Read Noise

A novel quanta image sensor (QIS) jot device with a CMOS compatible junction-field effect transistor (JFET) source follower (SF) is introduced. The device is proposed to further reduce the read noise of QIS jots and ultimately realize a read noise of 0.15e-r.m.s. for accurate photoelectron counting....
