Patent number: 11956553Abstract: An image sensor device has a first number of first pixels disposed in a substrate and a second number of second pixels disposed in the substrate. The first number is substantially equal to the second number. A light-blocking structure disposed over the first pixels and the second pixels. The light-blocking structure defines a plurality of first openings and second openings through which light can pass. The first openings are disposed over the first pixels. The second openings are disposed over the second pixels. The second openings are smaller than the first openings. A microcontroller is configured to turn on different ones of the second pixels at different points in time.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2021Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: TAIWAN SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING CO., LTD.Inventors: Yun-Wei Cheng, Chun-Hao Chou, Kuo-Cheng Lee, Hsin-Chi Chen

Publication number: 20230352507Abstract: A plurality of photovoltaic junctions for a subpixel may be formed in a semiconductor substrate. After thinning the backside of the semiconductor substate, at least one transparent refraction structure may be formed on the backside surface of the thinned semiconductor substrate. Each transparent refraction structure has a variable thickness that decreases with a lateral distance from a vertical axis passing through a geometrical center of the second-conductivity-type pillar structures for the subpixel. A subpixel optics assembly including an optical lens may be formed over the at least one transparent refraction structure. Each transparent refraction structure may reduce the tilt angle of light that propagate downward into the photodetectors, and increases total internal reflection of light and increase the efficiency of the photodetectors.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 10, 2023Publication date: November 2, 2023Inventors: Ming-Shiang Lin, Yun-Hao Chen, Kuo-Yu Wu, Tse-Hua Lu
