    摘要: A semiconductor device is provided that includes an array of imaging cells realized from a plurality of layers formed on a substrate, wherein the plurality of layers includes at least one modulation doped quantum well structure spaced from at least one quantum dot structure. Each respective imaging cell includes an imaging region spaced from a corresponding charge storage region. The at least one quantum dot structure of the imaging region generates photocurrent arising from absorption of incident electromagnetic radiation. The at least one modulation doped quantum well structure defines a buried channel for lateral transfer of the photocurrent for charge accumulation in the charge storage region and output therefrom. The at least one modulation doped quantum well structure and the at least one quantum dot structure of each imaging cell can be disposed within a resonant cavity that receives the incident electromagnetic radiation or below a structured metal film having a periodic array of holes.

    摘要: A semiconductor radiation detector device comprises a conductive backside layer (102) of first conductivity type and a bulk layer (103). Opposite to the conductive backside layer (102) there are a modified internal gate layer (104) of second conductivity type, a barrier layer (105) of the first conductivity type and pixel dopings (110, 112, 506, 510, 512) of the second conductivity type. The pixel dopings are adapted to be coupled to a pixel voltage, which is defined as a potential difference to a potential of the conductive backside layer (102), and which creates potential minima inside the detector material for trapping the signal charges.

    摘要: A semiconductor element encompasses a charge-transfer path defined in a semiconductor region (34.35), configured to transfer signal charges, (b) a pair of first field-control electrodes (42a, 42b) laminated via an insulating film on the semiconductor region so as to sandwich the charge-transfer path in between, and a pair of second field-control electrodes (43a, 43b) arranged separately from and adjacently to the first field-control electrodes (42a, 42b). By applying field-control voltages differing from each other, to the first and second field-control electrodes (43a, 43b), a depleted potential in the charge-transfer path is changed, and a movement of the signal charges transferring in the semiconductor region is controlled. Because electric field can be made constant over a long distance along the charge-transfer direction, a semiconductor element and a solid-state imaging device, in which problems caused by interface defects and the like are avoided, can be provided.

    摘要: The invention relates to a semiconductor device comprising: i) a substrate (1) comprising an insulating layer (2), wherein the electrically insulating layer (2) comprises a recess (99), and ii) a first conductive wire (20). The first conductive wire (20) comprises a first conductive sub-layer (22) provided within the recess (99), and comprises a second conductive sub-layer (24) provided on the first conductive sub-layer (22) forming a shunt for the first conductive sub-layer (22), wherein the first conductive sub-layer (22) comprises tungsten and the second conductive sub-layer (24) comprises aluminum, wherein the first conductive sub-layer (22) and the second conductive sub-layer (24) are substantially planar, and wherein the second conductive sub-layer (24) has substantially the same pattern as the first conductive sub-layer (22). The invention provides a semiconductor device, wherein the charge transport problem is improved, while ensuring a large packing density and a full flat-topology. This advantage is particularly useful in high-speed and/or high resolution image sensors.
