Abstract: A boron layer may be formed as a passivation layer in a recess in which a deep trench isolation structure (DTI) structure is to be formed. The boron layer results in formation of a boron-silicon interface between the DTI structure and a photodiode of a pixel sensor included in a pixel array. The boron-silicon interface functions as a diode junction, which resists penetration of photons into the DTI structure. This reduces and/or minimizes photon transmission through the DTI structure, which reduces and/or minimizes optical crosstalk between pixel sensors of the pixel array.

Abstract: A nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) power supply system and method are disclosed. The architecture adopts a two-stage topology to reduce the required capacitance by over ten times, leading to a four-fold improvement in power density. The first stage is an isolated converter that only supplies average power, therefore input filter and transformer sizes can be reduced. The second stage is a fast response DC-DC converter followed by a RF transmitter to produce a pulsed RF signal, so that the mid-point voltage after the first stage can be allowed to droop considerably, leading to much smaller sized capacitors. These and other embodiments enforce the isolated converter to only transfer average power, which reduces the power rating and the volume of the system's transformer.
