    Abstract: The present disclosure describes a semiconductor device that includes a first die bonded to a second die with interconnect structures in the first die. The first die includes a photodiode having first and second electrodes on a first side of a first dielectric layer, and first, second, and third interconnect structures in the first dielectric layer. The first and second interconnect structures are connected to the first and second electrodes, respectively. The second electrode has a polarity opposite to the first electrode. The second and third interconnect structures extend to a second side opposite to the first side of the first dielectric layer. The second die includes a second dielectric layer and a fourth interconnect structure in the second dielectric layer. The second dielectric layer is bonded to the second side of the first dielectric layer. The fourth interconnect structure connects the second and third interconnect structures.

    Abstract: A single photon avalanche diode (SPAT) image sensor is disclosed. The SPAT) image sensor include: a substrate of a first conductivity type, the substrate having a front surface and a back surface; a deep trench isolation (DTI) extending from the front surface toward the back surface of the substrate, the DTI having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface, the first surface being level with the front surface of the substrate; an epitaxial layer of a second conductivity type opposite to the first conductivity type, the epitaxial layer surrounding sidewalls and the second surface of the DTI; and an implant region of the first conductivity type extending from the front surface to the back surface of the substrate. An associated method for fabricating the SPAD image sensor is also disclosed.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an image sensor including a first semiconductor layer having a first doping type. A second semiconductor layer having the first doping type is between sidewalls of the first semiconductor layer and extends vertically along the sidewalls of the first semiconductor layer from a bottom side of the first semiconductor layer toward a top side of the first semiconductor layer. A first doped region having the first doping type is in the first semiconductor layer and laterally beside the second semiconductor layer. The first doped region extends vertically along a sidewall of the second semiconductor layer. A second doped region having a second doping type is in the first semiconductor layer and laterally beside the first doped region. The second doped region extends vertically along a side of the first doped region and forms a p-n junction with the first doped region.
