Patent ID: 8748828

Claim:
An interposer-based image sensing device, comprising: at least one interposer disposed on a surface of a substrate; at least one sensing array sensor disposed on the at least one interposer, the at least one light sensing array sensor being back-thinned, the at least one light sensing array sensor configured for back illumination, the at least one light sensing array sensor including a plurality of columns of pixels, the at least one interposer positioned between the substrate and the at least one light sensing array sensor; at least one amplification circuitry element configured to amplify an output of the at least one light sensing array sensor, the at least one amplification circuit being operatively connected to the interposer; at least one analog-to-digital conversion circuitry element configured to convert an output of the at least one light sensing array sensor to a digital signal, the at least one analog-to-digital conversion circuits being operatively connected to the interposer; at least one driver circuitry element configured to drive at least one of a clock signal or control signal of the at least one light sensitive array sensor, the at least one driver circuitry element being operatively connected to the interposer; and at least one additional circuitry element being operatively connected to the one or more interposer, the interposer configured to electrically couple at least two of the at least one light sensing array sensor, the one or more amplification circuits, the one or more conversion circuits, the one or more driver circuits, or the one or more additional circuits.
