  • BARRIER LAYER FOR WEAKENED BOUNDARY EFFECT
    Publication number: 20240112957
    Abstract: A fabrication method is disclosed that includes: forming a first metal layer over first and second semiconductor structures; forming a first patterned photolithographic layer with an opening that exposes a portion of the first metal layer over the first semiconductor structure but not to a boundary between semiconductor structures; removing the exposed portion of the first metal layer; forming a second metal layer over the first and second semiconductor structures; forming a second patterned photolithographic layer with an opening that exposes a portion of the second metal layer over the second semiconductor structure but not to the boundary; removing the exposed portion of the first and second metal layers; wherein a barrier structure is generated between the first and second semiconductor structures that includes remaining portions of the first metal layer and a portion of the second metal layer overlying the remaining portions of the first metal layer.

  • Hybrid image-sensing apparatus having filters permitting incident light in infrared region to be passed to time-of-flight pixel
    Patent number: 9348019
    Abstract: An image-sensing apparatus is provided. The image-sensing apparatus includes: an optical filter array including a two-band passing filter and an infrared filter; an RGB pixel array placed below the two-band passing filter; and a TOF pixel array adjacent to the RGB pixel array and placed below the two-band passing filter and the infrared filter, wherein a combination of the two-band passing filter and the infrared passing filter permits only the incident light in the infrared region to pass to the ToF pixel array.
