Default dynamic range of digital image sensors

Hello Ng,

My questions regards the dynamic range of digital image sensors (CCDs
and CMOS). I understand that this is mostly limited by the size of the
capacitor / well that holds the electrons and the amount of electronic
noise produced by the sensor. But if the capacitor size is a limiting
factor, why donīt the manufacturers use larger ones ? Is there a
special relationship between the size of the capacitor and the size of
of each pixel that keeps them from doing so ?

Thanks for your input!
Mr.Adams
