Abstract
A sensor includes a carrier carrying a light sensor array. The light sensor array has pixels that are each configured to generate an electrical output in response to receiving a light photon. The light sensor array can be included in or on a wafer or can be built in or on a wafer. The sensor also includes electrical conductors through which the pixels electrically communicate with electronics on the carrier. Each of the electrical conductors is at least partially positioned in a recess that extends into the wafer.
