IMAGE SENSOR AND MANUFACTURING METHOD OF THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240186359 titled 'IMAGE SENSOR AND MANUFACTURING METHOD OF THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The image sensor described in the abstract includes a pixel array with multiple pixels, each containing two photodiodes, two transmission gates, and multiple active regions. The logic circuit controls the pixels, and the active regions consist of three regions - one adjacent to each transmission gate and a third region connected to the second active region. The first and second active regions are on the main substrate with the photodiodes, while the third active region is on a sub-substrate attached to the main substrate.
