  • Publication number: 20240079423
    Abstract: A CIS has a monolithic transfer gate electrode embedded in the semiconductor substrate. In some embodiments, the transfer gate electrode is below the surface. In some embodiments, the top of the transfer gate electrode is nearly even with or below a bottom of a floating diffusion region. In some embodiments, the transfer gate electrode wraps partially around the area of the floating diffusion region. In some embodiments, the transfer gate electrode wraps entirely around the area of the floating diffusion region. Embedding the transfer gate in the substrate reduces surface crowding and allows a scale reduction. The wrapping of the transfer gate electrode around the area of the floating diffusion region increases the area of the transfer gate channel while limiting the area that is occupied by the transfer gate.

  • Patent number: 11916471
    Abstract: An example electronic device includes a controller to determine a user touch detection by a power adaptor coupled to the electronic device to operate the electronic device in an AC power mode. The power adaptor may comprise a proximity sensor to detect a user touch for detachment of the power adaptor from the electronic device, and a control circuit to operate a configuration pin in a low output mode to signal user touch detection. The controller may initiate central processing unit (CPU) throttling to reduce power consumption by the electronic device. The controller may further stop CPU throttling in response to detecting that the power adaptor has been detached from the electronic device. Further, the controller may switch the electronic device to a DC power mode to operate using DC power supplied by a battery of the electronic device in response to power adaptor detachment.
