    摘要: The present disclosure relates to an image sensor including a pixel along a substrate. The pixel includes a first semiconductor region having a first doping type. A second semiconductor region is directly over the first semiconductor region. The second semiconductor region has a second doping type opposite the first doping type and meets the first semiconductor region at a p-n junction. A ring-shaped third semiconductor region laterally surrounds the first and second semiconductor regions. The ring-shaped third semiconductor region has the first doping type. A ring-shaped fourth semiconductor region laterally surrounds the ring-shaped third semiconductor region. The ring-shaped fourth semiconductor region has the second doping type. A ring-shaped fifth semiconductor region is directly over the ring-shaped third semiconductor region and has the second doping type.

    摘要: Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards an image sensor comprising a pixel with a dual-PD layout for enhanced scaling down. The pixel spans a first integrated circuit (IC) die and a second IC die stacked with the first IC die. The pixel comprises a plurality of photodetectors in the first IC die, and further comprises a plurality of pixel transistors split amongst the first IC die and the second IC die. The plurality of photodetectors are grouped into one or more pairs, each having the dual-PD layout. A DTI structure completely and individually surrounds the plurality of photodetectors, and further extends completely through a substrate within which the plurality of photodetectors are arranged. As such, the DTI structure completely separates the plurality of photodetectors from each other.

    摘要: Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards an image sensor. The image sensor includes a first chip bonded to a second chip. The first chip includes a semiconductor substrate. The first chip includes a first transistor cell and a second transistor cell. The second transistor cell is laterally spaced from the first transistor cell. A first through-substrate via (TSV) extends vertically through the semiconductor substrate. The first transistor cell is electrically coupled to the first TSV. A second TSV extends vertically through the first semiconductor substrate. The second transistor cell is electrically coupled to the second TSV. The second chip comprises a first readout circuit that is electrically coupled to the first TSV and the second TSV. The first readout circuit is disposed laterally between the first TSV and the second TSV. The first readout circuit is configured to receive a first signal from the first transistor cell.
