    Abstract: A method of controlling a MOS-type photodetector includes transferring electrical charge between a photodiode (12) and a sensing node (3) via a transfer transistor. The electrical potential of the sensing node (3) takes an extreme value when a maximum quantity of electrical charge is stored on the sensing node (3). During the electrical charge transfer, an electrical potential is applied to the gate electrode of a transfer transistor in such a way that the electrical potential of the channel (2) of the transfer transistor is brought to a value equal to the extreme value of the electrical potential of the sensing node (3) multiplied by a number greater than or equal to unity.

The dielectric multilayer includes a top silicon-dioxide layer, an intermediate silicon-nitride layer and a bottom silicon-dioxide layer. Imaging circuitry is formed at a frontside of the silicon layer. An isolating structure surrounds the imaging circuitry and extends from the frontside through the silicon layer and top silicon-dioxide layer into and terminating within the intermediate silicon-nitride layer. A filter for the imaging circuitry is mounted to a backside of the bottom silicon-dioxide layer. The isolating structure is formed by a trench filled with a dielectric material.

    Abstract: A composite engineered wood material piece and its method of fabrication is described. The wood material piece comprises a top wood layer secured to a substrate layer by a binder. The substrate layer has a plurality of grooves formed therein from a bottom surface thereof to enhance the flexibility of the wood material piece. The grooves are spaced from one another by one or more predetermined spaced intervals and have one or more predetermined depth and width calculated to substantially eliminate the effects of telegraphy of the grooves on a top finished surface of the top wood layer.
