摘要： An image sensor has image sensor ICs mounted linearly thereon. Each of the image sensor ICs comprises a light receiving device circuit array having light receiving devices, a reset circuit device array, and a plurality of switches.

摘要： In one embodiment, a first insulating film is formed with a recess portion left therein in a contact hole, and the contact hole is surrounded by a first line pattern and a second line pattern, the first line pattern and the second line pattern having different heights. The recess portion is filled so as to form a first mask film, and the first insulating film except for the recess portion is etched back so as to be removed, thereby forming a second contact hole. After that, a conductive material is implanted in the second contact hole, and the top surface of the first line pattern having a low height is exposed, thereby forming a contact plug.

摘要： The drift region for increasing the breakdown voltage in an LDMOSFET is regarded as a resistive element. The potential distribution of the overall device is calculated by obtaining a potential distribution considering the resistance by iterative calculation. A capacitance generated in the drift region is analytically calculated assuming a linear potential distribution. A capacitance generated in the overlap region between the gate electrode and the drift region is calculated by considering the potential from the depletion region to the accumulation region.

摘要： An image sensor has light receiving elements, switching elements for reading out output signals from the light receiving elements, a scanning circuit array for driving the switching elements, and a common signal line connected to the switching elements for transmitting the output signals from the light receiving elements. An operational amplifier is connected to the common signal line through a chip selection switch and is operated by a single power supply under the GND power supply standard common to the image sensor for outputting the output signals to an image signal output terminal. A reset switch is connected to the common signal line for supplying a reference voltage to the common signal line. The reset switch and the switching elements turn ON to reset the light receiving elements to the reference voltage after reading out the output signals from the light receiving elements to the common signal line.

摘要： To reduce the output step difference for each block in an image sensor and to improve the uniformity of output voltages at a time of a high speed drive even if an external amplifier driven by a single power supply is used. This is designed such that a reset voltage to initialize light receiving elements inside an IC is made constant through a reference voltage supplied from a reference voltage circuit or from outside, thereby improving the uniformity of output signals of the light receiving elements.
