IMAGE SENSORS INCLUDING NANOROD PIXEL ARRAY, METHODS OF MANUFACTURING IMAGE SENSORS, AND ELECTRONIC DEVICES INCLUDING IMAGE SENSORS: abstract simplified (18111375)

• This abstract for appeared for patent application number 18111375 Titled 'IMAGE SENSORS INCLUDING NANOROD PIXEL ARRAY, METHODS OF MANUFACTURING IMAGE SENSORS, AND ELECTRONIC DEVICES INCLUDING IMAGE SENSORS'

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an image sensor that consists of multiple layers of electrodes and a layer of nanorod pixels. The nanorod pixels are smaller than 1 μm in size and are made up of a compound semiconductor. Each nanorod pixel has three layers: a first layer doped with a specific material, a second undoped layer, and a third layer doped with a different material.

Original Abstract Submitted

Provided is an image sensor including a plurality of first electrode layers spaced apart from each other, a second electrode layer opposite to the plurality of first electrode layers, and a pixel layer provided between the plurality of first electrode layers and the second electrode layer, the pixel layer including a plurality of nanorod pixels, wherein a size of each nanorod pixel among the plurality of nanorod pixels is less than 1 μm, wherein the plurality of nanorod pixels include a first pixel including a compound semiconductor, and wherein the first pixel includes a first compound semiconductor layer doped with a first dopant, a second compound semiconductor layer that is undoped, and a third compound semiconductor layer doped with a second dopant different from the first dopant.
