Abstract:
An image sensor is provided. The image sensor includes a substrate including a first side on which light is incident and a second side opposite the first side; a first separation pattern extending from the second side, the first separation pattern being interposed between unit pixels in the substrate of a light-receiving region and a light-shielding region provided around the light-receiving region; a second separation pattern extending from the first side and overlapping the first separation pattern, the second separation pattern being provided in the substrate of the light-receiving region; and a contact film electrically connected to the first separation pattern, the contact film being provided in the substrate of the light-shielding region. A contact trench which extends from the first side is formed in the light-shielding region of the substrate and exposes the first separation pattern, and the contact film fills at least a part of the contact trench.
Abstract:
An image sensor includes a substrate, and a pixel separation pattern disposed in the substrate and interposed between a plurality of unit pixels. The plurality of unit pixels include a first unit pixel region and a second unit pixel region adjacent to the first unit pixel region in a first direction. The first unit pixel region and the second unit pixel region respectively include a first transfer gate and a second transfer gate. The pixel separation pattern includes a first pixel separation part interposed between the first unit pixel region and the second unit pixel region, and a second pixel separation part spaced apart from the first pixel separation part in the first direction. A top surface of the first pixel separation part is lower than a top surface of the second pixel separation part.
Abstract:
An image sensor includes a substrate, a photoelectric conversion region in the substrate with the substrate defining a substrate trench on the photoelectric conversion region, a floating diffusion region adjacent to a side surface of the substrate trench, in the substrate, a gate dielectric film that extends along the side surface and a lower surface of the substrate trench and a transfer gate electrode which includes a lower gate that fills a portion of the substrate trench on the gate dielectric film and has a first width, and an upper gate that has a second width smaller than the first width on the lower gate. The gate dielectric film includes a lower dielectric film interposed between the substrate and the lower gate and has a first thickness, and an upper dielectric film adjacent to the floating diffusion region and has a second thickness greater than the first thickness.
Abstract:
A device for improving the use efficiency of a content delivery network (CDN) service and an operating method of a service distribution device are provided. The operating method includes receiving a service request signal from one or more electronic devices, determining an available domain for the service request signal based on the amount of idle traffic of one or more service domains in response to the reception of the service request signal, and transmitting a service response signal that includes the available domain information to the one or more electronic devices.
