I understand the role of an image sensor is to convert incoming light into electrical charge (by splitting the light into RGB values and then measuring the intensities of each), but how does this occur?
I know the answer is very basic (the sort of sensors I'm talking about are CCDs and CMOS). Am I correct in thinking that the incoming light strikes the material, excites some of the electrons into the conduction band which then makes them free to travel in the material and this charge is measured?
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks
