This paper proposes a 256×256 time-of-flight(TOF) image sensor based on the center-tap(CT)demodulation pixel structure. The image sensor can capture both the two-dimensional(2D) high speed image and the three-dimensional(3D) depth image. The CT pixel consists of two split pinned photodiode(PPD)regions and two pairs of transfer transistors. The transfer transistors adopt a non-uniform doped channel(NUDC) structure, which can increase the electron transfer speed along the transfer channel and eliminate the image lag for high speed imaging. The pixel size is 10 μm×10 μm, and we design the implementation process of the pixel to increase the electron transfer speed. The sensor is fabricated in a 0.18 μm 1P5 M CMOS image sensor process. Test results show that it can capture the 430-fps intensity image and the 90-fps depth image in two different imaging modes. The rectified non-linearity within the 1.0–7.5 m depth measurement range achieves less than 3 cm, and the measurement accuracy achieves 4.0 cm at 2.5 m, corresponding to the relative error of1.6%.
