  • SOLID-STATE IMAGING APPARATUS AND ELECTRONIC APPARATUS
    Publication number: 20240088184
    Abstract: There is provided a imaging device including: an N-type region formed for each pixel and configured to perform photoelectric conversion; an inter-pixel light-shielding wall penetrating a semiconductor substrate in a depth direction and formed between N-type regions configured to perform the photoelectric conversion, the N-type regions each being formed for each of pixels adjacent to each other; a P-type layer formed between the N-type region configured to perform the photoelectric conversion and the inter-pixel light-shielding wall; and a P-type region adjacent to the P-type layer and formed between the N-type region and an interface on a side of a light incident surface of the semiconductor substrate.

  • Waveform generation identification method and computer-readable medium
    Patent number: 11694117
    Abstract: A waveform generation identification method includes: comparing individual waveform data obtained by a plurality of sensors, with at least one piece of characteristic waveform information; determining appearance probability of characteristic waveform information in at least a certain section of the waveform data, based on a degree of correlation between a peak section of the waveform data and the characteristic waveform information; and identifying a time when a section matching with the characteristic waveform information appears and a concerned sensor, based on the appearance probability.
