    摘要: A multi-pixel detector of an image sensor is described. The multi-pixel detector includes a first photodiode region disposed within a semiconductor substrate to form a first pixel, a second photodiode region disposed within the semiconductor substrate to form a second pixel adjacent to the first pixel, and a partial isolation structure extending from a first side of the semiconductor substrate towards a second side of the semiconductor substrate between the first photodiode region and the second photodiode region. A length of a lateral portion of the partial isolation structure between the first photodiode region and the second photodiode region is less than a lateral length of the first photodiode region.

    摘要: An image sensor includes a photodiode disposed in a semiconductor material to generate image charge in response to incident light, and a floating diffusion disposed in the semiconductor material proximate to the photodiode. A transfer transistor is coupled to the photodiode to transfer the image charge from the photodiode into the floating diffusion in response to a transfer signal applied to a transfer gate of the transfer transistor. A source follower transistor is coupled to the floating diffusion to amplify a charge on the floating diffusion. The source follower transistor includes a gate electrode including a semiconductor material having a first dopant type; a source electrode, having a second dopant type, disposed in the semiconductor material; a drain electrode, having the second dopant type, disposed in the semiconductor material; and a channel, having the second dopant type, disposed between the source electrode and the drain electrode.

    摘要: An intermediate integrated circuit die of a stacked integrated circuit system includes an intermediate semiconductor substrate including first polarity dopants is thinned from a second side. A first well including first polarity dopants is disposed in the intermediate semiconductor proximate to a first side. A second well including second polarity dopants is disposed in the intermediate semiconductor substrate proximate to the first side. A deep well having second polarity dopants is disposed in the intermediate semiconductor substrate beneath the first and second wells. An additional implant of first polarity dopants is implanted into the intermediate semiconductor substrate between the deep well and the second side of the intermediate semiconductor substrate to narrow a depletion region overlapped by the additional implant of first polarity dopants. The depletion region is between the deep well and the second side of the intermediate semiconductor substrate.
