The Foveon sensors [1] have stacked diodes at each pixel instead of a Bayer (or similar [2]) sensor. The Foveon sensors don't require demosaicing. Some more recent cameras move the Bayer filter one pixel two additional times to capture and record each color for a single image [3] with some obvious limitations for moving subjects.
