Pixel and global shutter image sensor

A pixel for a global shutter pixel array, the pixel comprising a sensing layer and a storage layer,

• the sensing layer comprising:
• a sensing element adapted to provide charges upon receiving radiation;
• a first floating diffusion region for receiving charges from the sensing element;
• the storage layer comprising:
• at least one storage node for receiving charges from the first floating diffusion region of the sensing layer and for storing said charges;
• the sensing layer and storage layer forming a stack of layers, the sensing layer covering at least the storage node of the storage layer and the stack further comprising a light shield at least between the sensing layer and the storage node of the storage layer so the storage node is shielded from radiation;
• wherein the storage node is provided between two transfer gates, and the storage node and the two transfer gates are provided between the first floating diffusion region and a second floating diffusion region.
