    Abstract: An operating method of an image sensor includes the following steps. The image sensor includes at least one pixel unit. The pixel unit includes a photoelectric conversion unit, a first control unit, a capacitor unit, and a sensing unit. The photoelectric conversion unit includes a quantum film photoelectric conversion unit, and the first control unit includes an oxide semiconductor transistor. The capacitor unit is coupled to the first control unit, and the sensing unit is configured to sense signals at a sense point coupled between the first control unit and the sensing unit. The pixel unit is discharged before a readout operation. The capacitor unit is charged by electrons emitted from the photoelectric conversion unit when the photoelectric conversion unit is excited by light. Signals at the sense point are then sensed by the sensing unit.

    Abstract: A method for fabricating through silicon via (TSV) structure is disclosed. The method includes the steps of: providing a substrate; forming a through-silicon via (TSV) in the substrate; depositing a liner in the TSV; removing the liner in a bottom of the TSV; and filling a first conductive layer in the TSV for forming a TSV structure.

    Abstract: A 6T SRAM cell includes a substrate having thereon a first pull-up (PU-1) transistor, a first pull-down (PD-1) transistor, a second pull-up (PU-2) transistor, and a second pull-down (PD-2) transistor. A first contact hard mask partially overlaps with a source diffusion region of the PU-1 transistor. A second contact hard mask partially overlaps with a first gate and a source diffusion region of the PD-1 transistor. A first contact plug partially lands on the first contact hard mask and partially lands on the source diffusion region of the PU-1 transistor. A second contact plug partially lands on the second contact hard mask and partially lands on the source diffusion region of the PD-1 transistor.

    Abstract: An image sensor includes a first pixel and a second pixel. The first pixel receives a first signal sensed by a first photodiode. The second pixel receives a second signal sensed by a second photodiode. A pixel binning device includes a first transistor, a second transistor and a binning circuit, wherein the first transistor switchably couples to the first pixel to transfer the first signal, the second transistor switchably couples to the second pixel to transfer the second signal, and the binning circuit couples to the first transistor and the second transistor to bin the first signal and the second signal.
