  • Method and functional architecture for inline repair of defective imaging arrays
    Patent number: 10926357
    Abstract: A method for improving the performance of an image sensor array includes performing an electrical test on the image sensor array, generating a test image from the electrical test to detect an open circuit in a data line of the image sensor array, performing a laser-weld operation the data line to weld a portion of the data line to ground, re-testing the image sensor array to confirm a successful laser-weld operation, performing a laser-cut on a readout portion of the data line, and re-testing the image sensor array to confirm a successful laser-cut operation.
