Zusammenfassung:In some embodiments, an integrated circuit includes multiple charge storage regions configured to receive charge carriers from a photodetection region in response to a single excitation of a sample. In some embodiments, an integrated circuit includes first and second charge transfer paths configured to electrically couple a photodetection region to first and second charge storage regions, with the second charge transfer path bypassing the first charge storage region. In some embodiments, an integrated circuit includes a photodetection region configured to induce an intrinsic electric field having a vector component in at least three substantially perpendicular directions. In some embodiments, an integrated circuit includes multiple transfer gates configured to control charge carrier transfer out of a photodetection region in different directions. In some embodiments, an integrated circuit includes a photodetection region and multiple transfer gates configured to control charge carrier transfer from the photodetection region to one or more drain regions.
