PHOTOELECTRIC CONVERSION DEVICE, IMAGING SYSTEM, AND MOBILE APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18345376 Titled 'PHOTOELECTRIC CONVERSION DEVICE, IMAGING SYSTEM, AND MOBILE APPARATUS'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a photoelectric conversion device that converts light into electrical signals. It includes a substrate with photodiodes that generate signal charges when exposed to light. The device also has isolation regions within the substrate to separate different regions of the photodiodes. These isolation regions are arranged at different depths and intersect each other in plan view.
Original Abstract Submitted
Provided is a photoelectric conversion device including: a first substrate having a first face; photodiodes arranged in the first substrate and each having a first region that generates signal charges by photoelectrically converting an incident light and a second region that receives the signal charges moving from the first region; a first isolation region arranged in the first substrate at a first depth and including a first portion extending in a first direction so as to isolate the second regions from each other; and a second isolation region arranged in the first substrate at a second depth deeper than the first depth from the first face, and including a second portion extending in a second direction intersecting the first direction in plan view so as to isolate the first regions from each other, and the first and second portions are partially overlapped with each other in plan view.
