STACKED CHIP IMAGE SENSOR WITH LIGHT-SENSITIVE CIRCUIT ELEMENTS ON THE BOTTOM CHIP
Abstract:
An example imaging sensor system includes a backside-illuminated CMOS imaging array formed in a first semiconductor layer of a first wafer. The CMOS imaging array includes an N number of pixels, where each pixel includes a photodiode region. The first wafer is bonded to a second wafer at a bonding interface between a first metal stack of the first wafer and a second metal stack of the second wafer. A storage device is disposed in a second semiconductor layer of the second wafer. The storage device includes at least N number of storage cells, where each of the N number of storage cells are configured to store a signal representative of image charge accumulated by a respective photodiode region. Each storage cell includes a circuit element that is sensitive to light-induced leakage.
