Now that I've started reading the patent details, it is obvious those drawings don't exactly paint the full picture :-).
I didn't notice this before (did they just change the site?) but there is a link to the patent from that site (http://www.dpreview.com/news/0202/02021102foveonx3tech.asp) and it makes *very* interesting reading - they use the depth of the 'wells' to create a filter based on the absorption characteristics of doped silicon to the diff wavelengths. (phew!) There is a further link to supporting drawings but it's not working for me. Anywa, we'll wait and see, but this is certainly pushing the technology in the right direction.
