Abstract
A device includes a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) wafer and a conductive shielding layer. The CMOS wafer includes a semiconductor substrate, at least one front-end-of-the-line (FEOL) element, at least one back-end-of-the-line (BEOL) element and at least one dielectric layer. The FEOL element is disposed on the semiconductor substrate, the dielectric layer is disposed on the semiconductor substrate, and the BEOL element is disposed on the dielectric layer. The conductive shielding layer is disposed on the dielectric layer, in which the conductive shielding layer is electrically connected to the semiconductor substrate.
