Gn. Lu et al., COLOR DETECTION USING A BURIED DOUBLE P-N-JUNCTION STRUCTURE IMPLEMENTED IN THE CMOS PROCESS, Electronics Letters, 32(6), 1996, pp. 594-596
The authors present a novel technique for monochromatic colour detecti
on. By using a buried double p-n junction (BDJ) structure, wavelength-
dependent photocurrents I1 and I2 can be measured. And the incident li
ght wavelength can be identified from the ratio I2/I1. The device oper
ation was verified with a test circuit implemented in CMOS process.
