  • Patent number: 7701023
    Abstract: A TFA (thin film on ASIC) image sensor with stability-optimized photodiode for converting electromagnetic radiation into an intensity-dependent photocurrent. The TFA includes an intermetal dielectric layer, pixel back electrodes, vias, metal contacts, a transparent conductive oxide (TCO) layer, and an intrinsic absorption layer with a thickness between 300 nm and 600 nm. The pixel back electrodes are disposed over the intermetal dielectric layer, which is disposed over the ASIC. The vias connect to the pixel back electrodes and the metal contacts, which are formed in the intermetal dielectric layer. The TCO is disposed above the intrinsic absorption layer, which is disposed above the pixel back electrodes.

  • Publication number: 20080128697
    Abstract: The invention relates to a TFA image sensor with stability-optimized photodiode for converting electromagnetic radiation into an intensity-dependent photocurrent with an intermetal dielectric, on which, in the region of the pixel matrix, a lower barrier layer is situated and a conductive layer is situated on the barrier layer, and vias being provided for the contact connection to the ASIC, the vias in metal contacts on the ASIC. A TFA image sensor having improved electrical properties is provided. This is achieved in that an intrinsic absorption layer is provided between the TCO layer and the barrier layer with a layer thickness of between 300 nm and 600 nm. Before the application of the photodiodes, the topmost, comparatively thick metal layer of the ASIC is removed and replaced by a matrix of thin metal electrodes which form the back electrodes of the photodiodes, the matrix being patterned in the pixel raster.

  • Patent number: 7382034
    Abstract: The invention relates to an optoelectronic component for converting electromagnetic radiation into an intensity-dependent photoelectric current. The component includes one substrate which is formed especially according to CMOS technology. The substrate has an integrated semiconductor structure and an optically active thin layer structure which is situated upstream in the direction of light incidence. The structure includes a layer of a transparent conductive material and at least one layer of semiconductor material, which are arranged on an isolating layer, inside which connection means are provided for establishing a connection between the optically active thin layer structure and the integrated semiconductor structure arranged on the substrate. The aim of the invention is to develop one such optoelectronic component in such a way that the electrical connection between the layer of transparent conductive material and an electrical potential connection can be established in a technically simple manner.

  • Patent number: 7053457
    Abstract: The invention relates to an opto-electronic component for converting electromagnetic radiation into an intensity-dependent photocurrent, comprising a substrate (1) with a microelectronic circuit whose surface is provided with a first layer (7) which is electrically contacted thereto and made of amorphous silicon a-i:H or alloys thereof, and at least one other optically active layer (8) is disposed upstream from said first layer in the direction of incident light thereof (7). The invention also relates to the production thereof. The aim of the invention is to improve upon an opto-electronic component of the above-mentioned variety in order to obtain high spectral sensitivity within the visible light range and, correspondingly, significantly reduce sensitivity to radiation in the infrared range without incurring any additional construction costs.
