Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2016193258A1] The present invention concerns an optical sensor that comprises one or more charge transfer pixels (10) each comprising a buried photodiode (11) generating a photoelectric charge when illuminated, a conversion element (12) receiving at least a portion of said photoelectric charge and tending to impose, on the photodiode, a potential satisfying a non-linear relationship with the intensity of generation of the photoelectric charge, and a charge transfer element (14) for reading the charge stored by the photodiode (11) such that the residual charge in same is zero after the reading by transfer.
