  • Patent number: 11955496
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an image sensor having a photodiode surrounded by a back-side deep trench isolation (BDTI) structure, and an associated method of formation. In some embodiments, a plurality of pixel regions is disposed within an image sensing die and respectively comprises a photodiode configured to convert radiation into an electrical signal. The photodiode comprises a photodiode doping column with a first doping type surrounded by a photodiode doping layer with a second doping type that is different than the first doping type. A BDTI structure is disposed between adjacent pixel regions and extending from the back-side of the image sensor die to a position within the photodiode doping layer. The BDTI structure comprises a doped liner with the second doping type and a dielectric fill layer. The doped liner lines a sidewall surface of the dielectric fill layer.

  • Patent number: 11929379
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards a method for forming an integrated chip, the method includes forming a through substrate via (TSV) in a first substrate. The TSV continuously extends from a first surface of the first substrate to a second surface of the first substrate. A conductive contact is formed on the second surface of the first substrate. The conductive contact comprises a first conductive layer disposed on the TSV. An upper conductive layer is formed between the conductive contact and the TSV. The upper conductive layer comprises a silicide of a conductive material of the first conductive layer.

  • Patent number: 8061959
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a board inverter and a boarding inverting system. The board inverter includes a support, a first board picking device, an second board picking device and a controller. Each of the first board picking device and the second board picking device includes a driving mechanism and a first board picking device. The driving mechanism comprises a first linear driving means mounted on the support, a second linear driving means mechanically coupled to the first linear driving means, and a rotary driving means attached to the second linear driving means. The controller is connected to all the power supply members. The controller controls the motion of the first board picking device and the second board picking device such that the first board picking device and the second board picking device cooperatively inverting workpieces transmitted on a production line. The board inverter can be installed on a production line without altering the arrangement of existing production line.
