Abstract: An integrated circuit die includes a silicon chromium (SiCr) thin film resistor disposed on a first oxide layer. The SiCr thin film resistor has a resistor body and a resistor head. A second oxide layer overlays the SiCr thin film resistor. The second oxide layer has an opening exposing a surface of the resistor head. A metal pad is disposed in the opening in the second oxide layer and is contact with the surface of the resistor head exposed by the opening. Further, an interlevel dielectric layer is disposed on the second oxide layer overlaying the SiCr thin film resistor. A metal-filled via extends from a top surface of interlevel dielectric layer through the interlevel dielectric layer and contacts the metal pad disposed in the opening in the second oxide layer.

Abstract: Implementations of semiconductor packages may include: a digital signal processor having a first side and a second side and an image sensor array, having a first side and a second side. The first side of the image sensor array may be coupled to the second side of the digital signal processor through a plurality of hybrid bond interconnect (HBI) bond pads and an edge seal. One or more openings may extend from the second side of the image sensor array into the second side of the digital signal processor to an etch stop layer in the second side of the digital signal processor. The one or more openings may form a second edge seal between the plurality of HBI bond pads and the edge of the digital signal processor.

Abstract: An imaging device may include single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs). To mitigate crosstalk, isolation structures may be formed around each SPAD. The isolation structures may include front side deep trench isolation structures that extend partially or fully through a semiconductor substrate for the SPADs. The isolation structures may include a metal filler such as tungsten that absorbs photons. The isolation structures may include a p-type doped semiconductor liner to mitigate dark current. The isolation structures may include a buffer layer such as silicon dioxide that is interposed between the metal filler and the p-type doped semiconductor liner. The isolation structures may have a tapered portion or may be formed in two steps such that the isolation structures have different portions with different properties. An additional filler such as polysilicon or borophosphosilicate glass may be included in some of the isolation structures in addition to the metal filler.

Abstract: A semiconductor device may include a first chip with a first wafer and a first dielectric layer, and a second chip that includes a second wafer and a second dielectric layer, the second chip having a backside surface and a frontside surface opposed to the backside surface and bonded to the first chip at the frontside surface to define a bond line between the first dielectric layer and the second dielectric layer. The semiconductor device may include a die seal layer on the backside surface having a die seal ground contact in contact with the second wafer, and an electrostatic discharge path that includes the die seal layer, the die seal ground contact, a first die seal in the first dielectric layer, a second die seal in the second dielectric layer, and a hybrid bond connecting the first die seal and the second die seal through the bond line.
