LIGHT RECEIVING DEVICE AND DISTANCE MEASURING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18044827 titled 'LIGHT RECEIVING DEVICE AND DISTANCE MEASURING APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
- The patent application describes a light receiving device that consists of a stacked chip structure. - The stacked chip structure includes a pixel chip and a circuit chip that are stacked on top of each other. - The pixel chip contains a light receiving element that generates a signal when it receives a photon. - The circuit chip contains a circuit section that is part of a readout circuit. - The circuit section is positioned perpendicular to the substrate surface of the circuit chip, relative to the electrical coupling section between the pixel chip and the circuit chip. - The readout circuit is responsible for reading the signal generated by the light receiving element.
Original Abstract Submitted
A light receiving device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a stacked chip structure including a pixel chip and a circuit chip that are stacked. In the pixel chip, a light receiving element is provided. The light receiving element generates a signal in accordance with reception of a photon. In the circuit chip, a circuit section that is included in a readout circuit is disposed along a direction perpendicular to a substrate surface of the circuit chip with respect to an electrical coupling section between the pixel chip and the circuit chip. The readout circuit reads the signal generated by the light receiving element.
