Abstract: The present application discloses a double-layer stacked CMOS image sensor, photo diode and transfer gate transistor of a pixel cell are formed on the first substrate sequentially along a longitudinal direction, and the other pixel transistors of the pixel cell are formed on the second substrate. The first substrate and the second substrate are packaged separately, and the second substrate is stacked on the top side of the first substrate instead of being in juxtaposition. Since the photo diode and the pixel transistors other than the transfer gate transistor of the pixel cell are located on two separate substrates respectively, the area of a photo diode region may be increased significantly, thereby greatly increasing full well capacitance of the image sensor and increasing a dynamic range, and reduce a dark current and image noise significantly, thereby improving the dark line noise and full well capacitance simultaneously.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system and a method for information distribution. The system comprises: a server for generating a group key and its corresponding key deriving parameter, wherein the server encrypts sensitive contents by using the group key to obtain encrypted information; and terminals configured to receive the encrypted information through an open channel, extract the group key, then decrypt the encrypted information by using the group key to obtain the original content. In the group forming process, each terminal encrypts its private identifier using the public key and submits the ciphertext to the server. In information distribution process, the server transmits the ciphertext of sensitive contents and the key deriving parameter to the terminals via open channel Because private information available only to respective group members is required for calculating the group key, this mechanism ensures that the sensitive content can be transmitted securely on the open channel.
