摘要: Disclosed herein are MEMS devices and systems and methods of manufacturing or operating the MEMS devices and systems for transmitting and detecting radiation. The devices and methods described herein are applicable to terahertz radiation. In some embodiments, the MEMS devices and systems are used in imaging applications. In some embodiments, a microelectromechanical system comprises a glass substrate configured to pass radiation from a first surface of the glass substrate through a second surface of the glass substrate, the glass substrate comprising TFT circuitry; a lid comprising a surface; spacers separating the lid and glass substrate; a cavity defined by the spacers, surface of the lid, and second surface of the glass substrate; a pixel in the cavity, positioned on the second surface of the glass substrate, electrically coupled to the TFT circuitry, and comprising an absorber to detect the radiation; and a reflector to direct the radiation to the absorbers and positioned on the lid.

摘要: This disclosure provides devices and methods for 3-D device packaging with backside interconnections. One or more device elements can be hermetically sealed from an ambient environment, such as by vacuum lamination and bonding. One or more via connections provide electrical interconnection from a device element to a back side of a device substrate, and provide electrical interconnection from the device substrate to external circuitry on the back side of the device. The external circuitry can include a printed circuit board or flex circuit. In some implementations, an electrically conductive pad is provided on the back side, which is electrically connected to at least one of the via connections. In some implementations, the one or more via connections are electrically connected to one or more electrical components or interconnections, such as a TFT or a routing line.

摘要: Conventional optical lens assembly typically require a capping window, which is expensive, to protect the optical sensor. Also, each conventional optical lens assembly is discretely assembled, and thus incurs additional costs. To address these and other disadvantages, it is proposed to assemble a plurality of imaging sensors, a plurality of spacers, and a plurality of lenses at a panel. The resulting lens assembly array can be individualized into separate lens assemblies.

摘要: Techniques are disclosed for generating a high resolution image from a plurality of images captured from a plurality of sensors. The pixels in one sensor have at least one of different size, shape, or orientation than pixels in another sensor. The difference in size, shape, or orientation of the pixels and the interconnection of pixels on respective sensors provides a high level of certainty that there will be sufficient difference in the captured images, with limited loss in image content, to generate a relatively high resolution image from the images captured by the respective sensors.
