Latest Patents
One of Peter Rieve's latest patents is the TFA image sensor with a stability-optimized photodiode. This innovative sensor is designed to convert 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 strategically placed over the intermetal dielectric layer, which is situated above the ASIC. The vias connect the pixel back electrodes to the metal contacts formed in the intermetal dielectric layer. The TCO is positioned above the intrinsic absorption layer, which lies above the pixel back electrodes.
Another significant patent is for an optoelectronic component featuring a conductive contact structure. This invention pertains to a component that converts electromagnetic radiation into an intensity-dependent photoelectric current.
