    Abstract: A photonic integrated circuit device includes a semiconductor substrate (e.g., wafer) having a chip region therein, which is bounded on at least one side thereof by a scribe line. The chip region includes an optical transmitter, an optical receiver and a test optical waveguide. This test optical waveguide is coupled to the optical transmitter and the optical receiver and overlaps the scribe line. During a substrate dicing operation, a portion of the test optical waveguide overlapping the scribe line is removed.

    Abstract: An image sensor includes a substrate having first and second surfaces and first and second regions. Unit pixels including photoelectric conversion layers are arranged inside the first region. A pixel separation pattern extends from the first surface to the second surface in the first region, separates each of the unit pixels, and includes a pixel separation spacer film and a pixel separation filling film. A dummy pixel separation pattern extends from the first surface to the second surface in the second region, and includes a dummy pixel separation filling film. A wiring structure disposed on the second surface includes an inter-wiring insulating film and a first wiring. A first contact directly connects the dummy pixel separation filling film and connects the dummy pixel separation filling film to the first wiring. A height of the pixel separation filling film is greater than a height of the dummy pixel separation filling film.
