  • Patent number: 12660356
    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.

  • Publication number: 20260068603
    Abstract: During polishing of a backside conductive layer, a sensor of an in-situ eddy current monitoring system is repeatedly swept across the substrate so that each respective sweep of the sensor generates a respective signal trace that includes a sequence of signal values. For each respective signal trace, the sequence of signal values is converted to a corresponding thickness trace that includes sequence of thickness values for different locations on the substrate, thus generating a sequence of thickness traces. For each respective thickness trace in the sequence of thickness traces, a plurality of minima in the respective thickness trace are identified. A sequence of layer thickness values over time is calculated based on the plurality of minima from the respective traces in the sequence of thickness traces. Conductive vias extend through the semiconductor wafer of the substrate to electrically connect the backside conductive layer to a front-side conductive layer.
