  • Publication number: 20250120209
    Abstract: The problem of forming a deep trench isolation structure suitable for photodetectors with small pitch is solved by a process in which a grid of trenches is etched from the front side using high energy plasma followed by annealing. The trenches are filled with an oxide followed by etching to recess the oxide. The trench recesses are filled with semiconductor to form a grid-shaped semiconductor structure. After FEOL processing, BEOL processing, attachment to a second substrate, and thinning from the back side, an etch removes the oxide from the back side. The etch stops on the grid-shaped semiconductor structure. The trenches are then lined and filled from the back side. The front side etch allows the trenches to be made narrow and with highly vertical sidewalls. Lining and filling the trenches from the back side provides good optical and electrical isolation.

  • Patent number: 11143585
    Abstract: A photoelectrical device for detection of bacterial cell density includes a substrate, a driving electrode layer, an AC power source and a photoelectric conversion layer. The driving electrode layer is disposed on the substrate and includes a central electrode and a peripheral electrode pattern surrounding the central electrode. A fluid sample is disposed on the driving electrode layer. The AC power source is electrically connected to the driving electrode layer, and used to produce a non-uniform alternating electric field in the fluid sample on the driving electrode layer for driving the target bioparticles to gather up on the central electrode to form a particle cluster. The photoelectric conversion layer is used for receiving a light detecting beam after passing through the particle cluster and outputting an electric current based on the optical density of light detecting beam. The electric current changes as a concentration of the target bioparticles changes.
