Abstract
The image sensing structure includes a first semiconductor device and a second semiconductor device. The first semiconductor device includes at least one first unit. The at least one first unit includes a plurality of first interconnects adjacent to the top side of the first semiconductor device, a row selector, and an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) connected to the row selectors. The second semiconductor device includes at least one second unit. The at least one second unit includes a photodiode facing the top side of the second semiconductor device. The photodiode is configured to receive the light incident on the top side of the second semiconductor device. The top side of the first semiconductor device is bonded to the bottom side of the second semiconductor device.
