    摘要: Pixel sensor cells, methods of fabricating pixel sensor cells, and design structures for a pixel sensor cell. The pixel sensor cell has a gate structure that includes a gate dielectric and a gate electrode on the gate dielectric. The gate electrode includes a layer with first and second sections that have a juxtaposed relationship on the gate dielectric. The second section of the gate electrode is comprised of a conductor, such as doped polysilicon or a metal. The first section of the gate electrode is comprised of a metal having a higher work function than the conductor comprising the second section so that the gate structure has an asymmetric threshold voltage.

    摘要: A pixel sensor cell, a method for fabricating or operating the pixel sensor cell and a design structure for fabricating the pixel sensor cell each include a semiconductor substrate that includes a photoactive region separated from a floating diffusion region by a channel region. At least one gate dielectric is located upon the semiconductor substrate at least in-part interposed between the photoactive region and the floating diffusion region, and at least one optically transparent gate is located upon the gate dielectric and at least in-part over the channel region. Preferably, the at least one gate dielectric is also located over the photoactive region and the at least one optically transparent gate is also located at least in-part over the photoactive region, to provide enhanced charge transfer capabilities within the pixel sensor cell, which is typically a CMOS pixel sensor cell.

    摘要: A variable focal point lens includes a transparent tank, which comprises a transparent enclosure containing a transparent flexible membrane separating the inner volume of the transparent tank into an upper tank portion and a lower tank portion. The upper tank portion and the lower tank portion contain liquids having different indices of refraction. The transparent flexible membrane is electrostatically displaced to change the thicknesses of the first tank portion and the second tank portion in the path of the light, thereby shifting the focal point of the lens axially and/or laterally. The electrostatic displacement of the membrane may be effected by a fixed charge in the membrane and an array of enclosure-side conductive structures on the transparent enclosure, or an array of membrane-side conductive structures on the transparent membrane and an array of enclosure-side conductive structures.
