    摘要: An image sensor includes a substrate, and a pixel separation pattern disposed in the substrate and interposed between a plurality of unit pixels. The plurality of unit pixels include a first unit pixel region and a second unit pixel region adjacent to the first unit pixel region in a first direction. The first unit pixel region and the second unit pixel region respectively include a first transfer gate and a second transfer gate. The pixel separation pattern includes a first pixel separation part interposed between the first unit pixel region and the second unit pixel region, and a second pixel separation part spaced apart from the first pixel separation part in the first direction. A top surface of the first pixel separation part is lower than a top surface of the second pixel separation part.

    摘要: A sensor includes a first electrode and a second electrode, and a photo-active layer between the first electrode and the second electrode. The photo-active layer includes a light absorbing semiconductor configured to form a Schottky junction with the first electrode. The photo-active layer has a charge carrier trapping site configured to capture photo-generated charge carriers generated based on the light absorbing semiconductor absorbing incident light that enters at least the photo-active layer at a position adjacent to the first electrode. The sensor is configured to have an external quantum efficiency (EQE) that is adjusted based on a voltage bias being applied between the first electrode and the second electrode.

    摘要: A method of manufacturing a display panel includes forming a circuit layer including a gate, a source, and a drain on a base substrate and forming a light emitting element layer on the circuit layer. The forming of the circuit layer includes sequentially forming a preliminary metal layer, a preliminary oxide layer comprising molybdenum and tantalum, and a preliminary capping layer which comprise a preliminary electrode layer, cleaning the preliminary electrode layer, forming a photoresist layer pattern on the preliminary electrode layer, etching the preliminary electrode layer, and removing the photoresist layer pattern. During the etching of the preliminary electrode layer, a ratio between a removal speed ER1 of the preliminary oxide layer and a removal speed ER2 of the preliminary metal layer satisfies Equation 1 to maintain a low reflection property

    摘要: Germanium-based sensors are disclosed herein. An exemplary germanium-based sensor includes a germanium photodiode and a junction field effect transistor (JFET) formed from a germanium layer disposed in a silicon substrate, in some embodiments, or on a silicon substrate, in some embodiments. A doped silicon layer, which can be formed by in-situ doping epitaxially grown silicon, is disposed between the germanium layer and the silicon substrate. In embodiments where the germanium layer is on the silicon substrate, the doped silicon layer is disposed between the germanium layer and an oxide layer. The JFET has a doped polysilicon gate, and in some embodiments, a gate diffusion region is disposed in the germanium layer under the doped polysilicon gate. In some embodiments, a pinned photodiode passivation layer is disposed in the germanium layer. In some embodiments, a pair of doped regions in the germanium layer is configured as an e-lens of the germanium-based sensor.
