Patent EP-1102322-A2 (EP)
Inventor: ZHAO TIEMIN
IPC: H01L27/146
Filed: 2000-11-15
Abstract: A photodiode with an optimized floating P+ region for a CMOS image sensor.
The photodiode is constructed with a P+/Nwell/Psub structure. The Nwell/Psub
junction of the photodiode acts as a deep junction photodiode which offers high
sensitivity. The P+ floating region passivates the silicon surface to reduce dark
currents. Unlike a traditional pinned photodiode structure, the P+ region in the
present invention is not connected to the Pwell or Psub regions, thus making the P+
region floating. This avoids the addition of extra capacitance to the cell. The
photodiode may be included as part of an active pixel sensor cell, the layout of which
is fully compatible with the standard CMOS fabrication process. This type of active
pixel sensor cell includes the photodiode, and may be configured with a three
transistor configuration for reading out the photodiode signals. Examples of other
configurations that the photodiode can be used with include two transistors, four
transistors, log scale, as well as its ability to be used in a passive pixel implementation.
Also, an additional optional N type layer can be introduced in between the P+ region
and Nwell to fine tune the junction profile for special applications. In addition, the
field oxide region may be made to extend over the photodiode, so as to reduce the
exposure of the diode area to the field oxide region edge, which can be a source of
dark current due to the high electric fields and mechanical stresses.

Abstract: A database is maintained that stores data persistently. Tasks are accepted from
task sources. At least some of the tasks have competing requirements for use of regions
of the database. Each of the regions includes data that is all either locked or not locked
for writing at a given time. Each of the regions is associated with an available

Abstract: Method and device for production of powder metal bodies comprising:
   introducing powder material (4') in a compacting chamber (4) in a hollow die (1),
compacting the material in mainly axial direction in the compacting chamber by urging
a first punch (2), axially into said compacting chamber,   advancing said first punch (2) further into said compacting chamber for further
compacting the powder material and imparting upon the die plate (1) a biasing tension,
