Abstract
We report a triple-layering technology for pixelparallel CMOS image sensors. Photodiodes (PDs), logic circuits, and 16-bit pulse counters are developed on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafers, and they are three-dimensionally integrated within every pixel by using hybrid bonding through damascened Au electrodes of 5 pm in diameter in a SiO2 insulator. The developed triple-stacked wafers are confirmed to have no voids or separation of layers even after the removal of the handle layer, thereby demonstrating the feasibility of multi-layered imaging devices for the next-generation video systems.
