  • Publication number: 20240153979
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing an image sensor structure includes forming an isolation structure in a substrate to divide the substrate into a first region and a second region, forming a first light sensing region in the first region and a second light sensing region in the second region, forming a first gate structure over the first light sensing region and a second gate structure over the second light sensing region, forming gate spacers on sidewalls of the first and second gate structures, and depositing a blocking layer on sidewalls of the gate spacers. The blocking layer has an opening positioned between the first and second gate structures. A source/drain structure is formed directly under the opening in the blocking layer. The method also includes forming an interlayer dielectric layer over the first and second gate structures and the blocking layer.

  • Patent number: 9165903
    Abstract: A multi-functional detachable and replaceable wire bonding heating plate is provided with a heat blocking layer, a heating layer, a heat equalization layer, and a top layer. The bottom of the heat blocking layer has a recessed portion and the heating layer is disposed on top of the heat blocking layer. The heat equalization layer is disposed on top of the heating layer. A detachable and replaceable top layer is disposed on top of the heat equalization layer wherein a protruding support block is disposed on top of the top layer. The heat equalization layer and the top layer can be securely bonded to each other by the attraction force method, the engaging method, and the vacuum method. The invention allows the top layer to be timely detached and properly replaced to meet the specifications of different lead frames or PCB substrates and can reduce the production cost.
