`Front-side Illuminated (FSI) pixels
`
` Most common sensing technology
` Tall metal stack-up makes getting
`photons to the photodiode difficult
`Æ Compromises sensitivity
` Restricts Chief Ray Angle (CRA)
`Æ Increases lens height
` Significant optical and electrical
`crosstalk
` Color and luminance shading varies
`with illuminant
` Smaller FSI pixels deliver

`OmniBSI technology
`
` Back-side Illuminated (BSI)
`sensors have been used for
`many years in highest
`performance applications
`(cid:129) Astronomy, military, scientific
` BSI devices were expensive due
`to fragility and processing costs
`
` OmniBSI breakthrough – the
`ability to mass produce very
`small, cost effective BSI pixels
`for high performance products

`Manufacturing OmniBSI devices
`Manufacturing advantage of OmniBSI technology vs. SOI BSI
`
` Silicon On Insulator (SOI) is traditional technology for
`manufacturing BSI devices
` OmniVision’s proprietary BSI processing technology has none of
`the drawbacks of SOI-based BSI
`
`Global manufacturing
`capacity
`Dark current and hot
`pixel density
`
`Manufacturing cost
`
`OmniBSI
`Practically unlimited
`No sourcing risk
`Impurities can be removed
`from active area and removed
`completely during thinning
`process
`Uses standard wafers
`
`SOI BSI
`Limited global production
`capacity for SOI wafers
`Impurities in EPI layers
`are trapped by insulating
`layer, increasing dark
`current and hot pixels
`Costs of SOI raw wafers
`is approx. 8x higher

`Comparison of OmniBSI impact vs. FSI to module design
`
`Property
`Die size
`
`FSI vs. OmniBSI
`SAME or BETTER - OmniBSI XY die size is the
`same for a given optical format & resolution.
`OmniBSI die may be smaller due to potential for
`additional metal layers and higher routing density
`
`Implications
`OmniBSI doesn’t increase module
`XY size.
`OmniBSI is compatible with FSI
`module design rules
`
`Die thickness SAME - OmniBSI and FSI can be supplied in the
`same die thicknesses
`SAME - OmniBSI offered in both CSP and COB
`Packaging
`packages
`technology
`Bondpad size SAME - Bondpad geometry, materials, layout,
`and design rules are identical
`SAME - OmniBSI device power and interfaces
`are electrically identical to FSI products
`SAME or BETTER - OmniBSI is more sensitive
`and more tolerant of lens XY misalignment (less
`color-shift and shading)

`
`
`
`Advantages of OmniBSI
`Optical crosstalk in FSI
`
`light
`
`light
`
` Optical crosstalk occurs when
`photons don’t follow their
`intended path
`
` Photons can bounce off metal
`layers into adjacent pixels,
`causing color crosstalk and
`loss of sharpness
`
` The ideal solution is to move
`the metal layers completely
`out of the optical path

`
`
`
`Advantages of OmniBSI
`
`
`OmniBSI reduces electrical crosstalkalk
`
` Electrical crosstalk occurs in silicon after
`the photon converts to an electron
` Goal: get all electrons into right photodiodes
`Three possible fates for an electron:
`
`(cid:129) Collected in correct photodiode --
`(cid:129) Collected in wrong photodiode /
`(cid:129) Absorbed into substrate and lost /
` Misplaced electrons reduce sharpness and
`color fidelity and increase noise
` OmniBSI photodiodes fill the majority of the
`silicon volume
`(cid:129) Nowhere for electrons to get lost
` Much higher probability that electrons end
`up in the right photodiode
`(cid:129)
`Increased QE & sensitivity
`(cid:129) Reduced color noise
`(cid:129)
`Increased sharpness (MTF)
