IMAGE SENSOR AND ELECTRONIC SYSTEM INCLUDING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18093609 Titled 'IMAGE SENSOR AND ELECTRONIC SYSTEM INCLUDING THE SAME'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an image sensor that has a unique design with an asymmetric fin region and a transistor. The transistor has both a horizontal and vertical gate portion, and the source and drain regions are positioned at different distances from the fin region. This design is part of an electronic system that includes a camera module and a processor for processing image data.
Original Abstract Submitted
An image sensor includes a substrate having a pixel region in which an active region having a locally asymmetric fin region limited by a locally cutout space is defined and a transistor provided in the pixel region. The transistor includes a horizontal gate portion provided on the active region and a vertical gate portion filling the locally cutout space and facing one of fin sidewalls of the locally asymmetric fin region. Distances of the source region and drain region formed in the active region from the locally asymmetric fin region are different from each other. An electronic system includes at least one camera module including an image sensor and a processor configured to process image data provided from the at least one camera module.
