Publication number: 20240096784Abstract: Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an integrated chip including an extended via that spans a combined height of a wire and a via and that has a smaller footprint than the wire. The extended via may replace a wire and an adjoining via at locations where the sizing and the spacing of the wire are reaching lower limits. Because the extended via has a smaller footprint than the wire, replacing the wire and the adjoining via with the extended via relaxes spacing and allows the size of the pixel to be further reduced. The extended via finds application for capacitor arrays used for pixel circuits.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 3, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Meng-Hsien Lin, Hsing-Chih Lin, Ming-Tsong Wang, Min-Feng Kao, Kuan-Hua Lin, Jen-Cheng Liu, Dun-Nian Yaung, Ko Chun Liu

Patent number: 11693187Abstract: The present disclosure provides an improved method of parking a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) mirror in an array of MEMS mirrors to protect against single high voltage channel failures in a driver. Two separate voltages are applied to each MEMS mirror to move and park the mirror out of a camera sensor field of view in a servo system. For example, a first voltage may be applied in a positive X direction and a second voltage may be applied in a positive Y direction which will move the mirror in a diagonal direction. If one of the high voltage channels fail, the mirror will still be parked and outside of the camera sensor field of view. If a high voltage channel fails, the servo system can park a mirror affected by the failure in an opposite corner. Moreover, if 2-axis parking is not feasible, the mirror can use single-voltage parking.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2020Date of Patent: July 4, 2023Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Hsing Cheng, Kevin Yasumura

Publication number: 20210255399Abstract: The present disclosure provides an improved method of parking a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) mirror in an array of MEMS mirrors, wherein the method protects against single high voltage channel failures in a driver. Two separate voltages are applied to each MEMS mirror to move and park the mirror out of a camera sensor field of view in a servo system. For example, a first voltage may be applied in a positive X direction and a second voltage may be applied in a positive Y direction. This will then move the mirror in a diagonal direction. In the event one of the high voltage channels fail, the mirror will still be parked and outside of the camera sensor field of view. Using two voltages, every mirror will have 4 possible parking positions. In the event of a high voltage channel failure, the servo system can park a mirror affected by the failure in an opposite corner. Moreover, if 2-axis parking is not feasible, such as if both Y axes fail, the mirror can use single-voltage parking.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 1, 2020Publication date: August 19, 2021Inventors: Hsing Cheng, Kevin Yasumura
