IMAGING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240321916 titled 'IMAGING DEVICE
The abstract describes an imaging device with a pixel section, a peripheral circuit section, and an intermediate layer. The peripheral circuit section includes a light-shielding film, at least one first conductive line containing aluminum, and a barrier layer between the conductive line and the light-shielding film.
- Pixel section with pixels
- Peripheral circuit section surrounding the pixel section
- Intermediate layer extending across the pixel and peripheral circuit sections
- Light-shielding film in the peripheral circuit section
- First conductive line with aluminum in the intermediate layer
- Barrier layer between the conductive line and the light-shielding film
Potential Applications: - Digital cameras - Medical imaging devices - Surveillance cameras
Problems Solved: - Improved image quality by reducing interference from external light - Enhanced durability and longevity of the imaging device
Benefits: - Higher quality images - Increased device lifespan - Enhanced performance in various lighting conditions
Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Imaging Device for Enhanced Image Quality" This technology can be used in the development of high-quality digital cameras, medical imaging devices, and surveillance systems, catering to professionals in photography, healthcare, and security industries.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the use of a light-shielding film improve image quality in the imaging device? 2. What are the advantages of having a barrier layer between the conductive line and the light-shielding film?
Original Abstract Submitted
an imaging device includes a pixel section including pixels, a peripheral circuit section that is provided around the pixel section and that includes a peripheral circuit, and an intermediate layer that extends across the pixel section and the peripheral circuit section. the peripheral circuit section includes a light-shielding film located above the intermediate layer, at least one first conductive line that is located in the intermediate layer and that contains aluminum, and at least one barrier layer located between the at least one first conductive line and the light-shielding film.
