Image Sensor

This patent describes an image sensor assembled from three semiconductor chips. The first chip contains a pixel unit, wiring, and a bonding pad. The second chip connects to the first through bonded pads and wiring, and includes a via structure extending through its substrate. A bonding layer connects the second chip to a third chip, forming a stacked structure that integrates the sensor’s components.

Image Sensor and Manufacturing Method Thereof

This patent describes an image sensor with an active region containing photoelectric conversion pixels and a surrounding peripheral region. A transparent window sits above the substrate, while a wall structure seals the space between them. A planarization insulating layer supports lens patterns, which vary in shape or spacing across three lens regions.
