Title: Yi-Hsuan Fan and Image Sensor Innovation.
Introduction
Yi-Hsuan Fan is an inventor associated with Taipei, Taiwan, and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited. The supplied information lists 1 patent for Fan, focused on a light shield for an image sensor pixel.
Latest Patents
Fan’s patent, “Light Shield for Pixel of Image Sensor,” describes a pixel with a photosensitive region that generates electrical charge when illuminated and a storage node that receives and stores that charge. A transfer gate between these components regulates the charge transfer.
The invention places a light-shielding structure within the inter-layer dielectric above the transfer gate to help prevent light from reaching it. An indentation in the shield’s end surface accommodates part of the transfer gate, so that the gate’s extending end is at least partially surrounded by the shielding structure.
Career Highlights
The available information connects Fan’s patent work with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited. The described invention addresses light shielding and charge-transfer structures in image sensor pixels.
Collaborations
The supplied data identifies Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited as Fan’s company affiliation. It does not specify particular co-inventors or other collaborators.
Conclusion
Yi-Hsuan Fan’s listed patent presents a structural approach to shielding an image sensor’s transfer gate from light, highlighting a focused contribution to pixel design.
