Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) High Dynamic Range (HDR) CMOS image sensors are required for use in extremely illuminated environments, such as outdoors.
Our research group has proposed a Dual Conversion Gain (DCG) HDR CMOS image sensor,
which consists of a four-transistor (4T) pixel.
While the 4T-DCG can achieve a dynamic range (DR) comparable to that of conventional DCG sensors, the bright signal exhibits a nonlinear response.
In this work, we propose an 4T-DCG pixel with a larger transfer gate (TG) to improve linearity. According to device simulation results, the full well capacity (FWC), DR, and linearity error are $20~rm{ke^-}$, $85.4$~dB, and $1.7$~%, respectively.
