IMAGE SENSORS INCLUDING NANOROD PIXEL ARRAY, METHODS OF MANUFACTURING IMAGE SENSORS, AND ELECTRONIC DEVICES INCLUDING IMAGE SENSORS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- 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. Each nanorod pixel is smaller than 1 μm and includes a compound semiconductor. The first pixel in the nanorod array has a first compound semiconductor layer doped with a specific dopant, an undoped second compound semiconductor layer, and a third compound semiconductor layer doped with a different dopant.
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.
