Claim Text:
1. A device comprising: a substrate having an image sensor disposed thereon; a first dielectric layer disposed on a first side of the substrate; a semiconductor layer disposed on the first dielectric layer, the semiconductor layer having an opening extending therethrough; a plurality of transistors disposed on the semiconductor layer; a second dielectric layer disposed over at least one of the plurality of transistors, a portion of the second dielectric layer extending through the opening in the semiconductor layer and contacting the first dielectric layer; a first vertical interconnect extending through the opening in the semiconductor layer and contacting a transfer gate of the image sensor and a second vertical interconnect extending through the opening in the semiconductor layer and contacting a floating diffusion region of the image sensor; and one or more interconnects disposed over the second dielectric layer, the one or more interconnects electrically connected to at least one of the plurality of transistors.
