  • Patent number: 11626432
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a solid-state imaging device and an electronic device that are configured to suppress the occurrence of noise and white blemishes in an amplification transistor having an element separation region which is formed by ion implantation. An amplification transistor has an element separation region formed by ion implantation. A channel region insulating film which is at least a part of a gate insulating film above a channel region of the amplification transistor is thin compared to a gate insulating film of a selection transistor, and an element separation region insulating film which is at least a part of a gate insulating film above the element separation region of the amplification transistor is thick compared to the channel region insulating film. The present disclosure can be applied to, for example, a CMOS image sensor, etc.

  • Publication number: 20220311943
    Abstract: An error is reduced in phase difference detection of an imaging element including a phase difference pixel with an on-chip lens in common for a pair of pixels. The imaging element includes a pixel, an individual on-chip lens, a plurality of phase difference pixels, a common on-chip lens, and a pixel circuit. The individual on-chip lens individually collects incident light for each pixel. The phase difference pixels are arranged adjacent to each other to detect a phase difference. The common on-chip lens is arranged in common for the plurality of phase difference pixels and collects incident light in common. The pixel circuit is formed in a semiconductor substrate and generates an image signal on the basis of a transferred charge. Charge transfer units of the plurality of phase difference pixels are in a region between the common on-chip lens and the individual on-chip lens.

  • Patent number: 8555660
    Abstract: An operation unit for a vehicle air conditioner includes a display device, a setting input portion of a control parameter of the air conditioner other than a set temperature, an obtaining portion configured to obtain a present set value of the control parameter, and an operating state identification portion configured to identify whether an air-conditioning operating state is in a plurality of predetermined operating states of the air conditioner. In the operation unit, a moving pattern of a pointer of the display device is changed according to the operating state of the air conditioner. For example, a pointer operation control portion can be configured to control an operation of a pointer driving motor such that the pointer moves on a dial of the display device at different moving speeds according to the air-conditioning operating state.
