  • Publication number: 20220165776
    Abstract: A pixel array may include air gap reflection structures under a photodiode of a pixel sensor to reflect photons that would otherwise partially refract or scatter through a bottom surface of a photodiode. The air gap reflection structures may reflect photons upward toward the photodiode so that the photons may be absorbed by the photodiode. This may increase the quantity of photons absorbed by the photodiode, which may increase the quantum efficiency of the pixel sensor and the pixel array.

  • Patent number: 11133415
    Abstract: An embodiment is a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device. The method includes forming a fin on a substrate. A gate structure is formed over the fin. A recess is formed in the fin proximate the gate structure. A gradient doped region is formed in the fin with a p-type dopant. The gradient doped region extends from a bottom surface of the recess to a vertical depth below the recess in the fin. A source/drain region is formed in the recess and on the gradient doped regions.
    Type: Grant
