  • Publication number: 20200075660
    Abstract: A solid-state image pickup device is provided with a two-dimensional pixel array wherein unit pixels are arrayed on a semiconductor substrate, the unit pixels respectively including photoelectric conversion elements configured to convert inputted light into electric signals, and circuit elements configured to read out the electric signals thus converted. The unit pixels are formed in at least one shared well region surrounded by an insulating element isolation region that penetrates the semiconductor substrate from the front surface to the rear surface and isolates the elements from each other. Each shared well region is biased to a predetermined potential via well contact sections of a number that is smaller than that of the unit pixels.

  • Publication number: 20200075644
    Abstract: A solid-state imaging device includes a two-dimensional pixel array in which unit pixels are arranged on a semiconductor substrate, each including a photoelectric conversion element, and a circuit element. When a plurality of adjacent unit pixels are defined as one pixel group set, a plurality of pixel group sets are arranged in the two-dimensional pixel array. In the one pixel group set, a periphery of the one pixel group set is surrounded by an insulating element isolation region that isolates elements in the semiconductor substrate, except for an intermediate portion between two adjacent unit pixels. In the one pixel group set, two adjacent photoelectric conversion elements are arranged so that two floating diffusions respectively connected to the two adjacent photoelectric conversion elements are opposed to each other with the circuit element interposed therebetween. A transistor shared by the one pixel group set is provided in the intermediate portion.

  • Patent number: 10253684
    Abstract: An internal combustion engine control apparatus includes a secondary air supply device having a secondary air supply passage that supplies secondary air pumped by an air pump into an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine and an opening/closing unit that opens and closes the secondary air supply passage. A controller provided in the internal combustion engine control apparatus sets the opening/closing unit in an open condition such that the secondary air is supplied to the secondary air supply passage, and then executes foreign matter removal control in which the opening/closing unit is opened and closed. As a result, foreign matter caught in an ASV during AI control is removed immediately. By implementing OBD after removing the foreign matter, detection of an open sticking abnormality caused by foreign matter caught in the ASV is suppressed.
