Abstract:
A backside-illuminated active pixel sensor array in which crosstalk between adjacent pixels is prevented, a method of manufacturing the backside-illuminated active pixel sensor array, and a backside-illuminated image sensor including the backside-illuminated active pixel sensor array are provided. The backside-illuminated active pixel sensor array includes a semiconductor substrate of a first conductive type that comprises a front surface and a rear surface, light-receiving devices for generating charges in response to light incident via the rear surface, and one or more pixel isolating layers for forming boundaries between pixels by being disposed between the adjacent light-receiving devices, a wiring layer disposed on the front surface of the semiconductor substrate, and a light filter layer disposed on the rear surface of the semiconductor substrate, wherein a thickness of the one or more pixel isolating layers decreases from a point in the semiconductor substrate toward the rear surface.
Abstract:
At least some example embodiments provide a fingerprint sensor, a fingerprint sensor package, and a fingerprint sensing system using light sources of a display panel. The fingerprint sensor includes an image sensor including a plurality of sensor pixels, the sensor pixels configured to sense light reflected by a fingerprint and generate image information corresponding to the fingerprint and a pinhole mask defining a plurality of pinholes, wherein each of the pinholes forms a focus for transmitting the light reflected by the fingerprint to the image sensor, wherein light is emitted from a plurality of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and is reflected by the fingerprint.
