Abstract(in English) Behaviors of random telegraph noise (RTN) occurs at CMOS image sensors’ in-pixel source follower transistors (SF) toward changes of SF operating conditions such as SF drain current and back bias were analyzed by using high accuracy array test circuit. The influences of SF operating condition that contribute to reduce RTN were clarified by the evaluation of the dependency of SF drain current and back bias to the RTN parameters such as amplitude and time constants. In this work, in addition to statistical analysis by the measurement of a large number of the transistors, we also analyzed the behaviors of RTN parameters in the individual transistors.
