摘要： An optical system and method for controlling light propagation along a light path. An optical element such as a lens is formed of a first light transmitting material and has a surface finish effective to scatter light impinging on the surface. Index matching material contacts to a portion of the surface so as to reduce or nullify the scattering effects of the surface finish within the portion. This allows the first optical element to have surfaces that have been generally prepared for scattering light and then later selectively negate the scattering effects of the surface finish by contacting portions of the surface with index matching material. As such, light in the optical element directed toward a surface or boundary within selected portion propagates into or out of the optical element. Light outside of the selected portion is scattered. Such an arrangement helps to reduce image degradation due to light outside of the light path being reflected about within the optical system.

摘要： An electronic module adapted to sense light and configured to minimize the entry of stray light into the module. The module includes a housing having an opening through which light enters the housing, a first substrate coupled to the housing, a second substrate on the first substrate opposite the housing, and a chip on the second substrate. The first substrate defines a window aligned with the housing so that light traveling through the housing also passes through window. The second substrate defines an opening aligned with the window, and the chip is located over the opening in the second substrate so that a light-sensing element on the chip senses light passing through the opening. The module is equipped with features that prevent light from entering the module through the second substrate, the first substrate, and between the chip and second substrate.

摘要： A self testing CMOS imager chip includes a controller which outputs a sewer signal, a dump signal, a collect signal, and a read signal, and a pixel array connected to the controller including a plurality of pixels arranged in an array of rows and columns, each pixel having a collect gate disposed adjacent a collect well for receiving a charge in response to application of the collect signal to the collect gate, a sewer for injecting a charge into the collect well in response to the concurrent application of the sewer signal to the sewer and the collect signal to the collect well, a read gate disposed adjacent a read well for receiving the injected charge from the collect well in response to application of the read signal to the read gate and the absence of the collect signal at the collect gate, and a transistor having a gate coupled to the read well, a source for receiving the read signal, and a drain coupled to an output node connected to the controller. The read signal is modulated by the injected charge at the gate of the transistor, thereby generating an injected output signal at the output node representing the injected charge. The controller, through read-out circuitry, comparing the injected output signal to an expected output signal to test the operation of each pixel of the array.

摘要： A thin film field effect transistor has an island of polysilicon on the surface of a substrate, preferably of an insulating material. A layer of silicon dioxide is on the surface of the substrate and surrounds the polysilicon island. The silicon dioxide layer is of substantially uniform thickness and contacts the edge of the polysilicon island. A gate insulator layer, preferably of silicon dioxide, of substantially uniform thickness is on the surface of the polysilicon island. A conductive gate, preferably of doped polysilicon, is on the gate insulator layer and extends across a portion of the polysilicon island. The portions of the polysilicon island at opposite sides of the gate are doped to form the source and drain of the transistor. The transistor is formed by applying a layer of polysilicon on the surface of a substrate and applying a mask over the portion of the polysilicon layer which is to form the island. The uncovered portion of the polysilicon layer is converted to silicon dioxide, such as by heating in an atmosphere containing oxygen. After removing the mask, the gate insulator layer is formed over the surface of the polysilicon island, and the gate is formed over the gate insulator.
