    Abstract: Protuberances (5), having vertical (h) and lateral (p) dimensions less than the wavelength range of lights detectable by a photodiode (8), are formed at an optical interface between two layers having different refractive indices. The protuberances may be formed by employing self-assembling block copolymers that form an array of sub lithographic features of a first polymeric block component (112) within a matrix of a second polymeric block component (111). The pattern of the polymeric block component is transferred into a first optical layer (4) to form an array of nanoscale protuberances. Alternately, conventional lithography may be employed to form protuberances having dimensions less than the wavelength of light. A second optical layer is formed directly on the protuberances of the first optical layer. The interface between the first and second optical layers has a graded refractive index, and provides high transmission of light with little reflection.

    Abstract translation: 具有小于由光电二极管(8)可检测的光的波长范围的垂直(h)和横向(p)尺寸的凸起(5)形成在具有不同折射率的两个层之间的光学界面处。 突起可以通过使用在第二聚合物嵌段组分(111)的基体内形成第一聚合物嵌段组分(112)的亚光刻特征阵列的自组装嵌段共聚物来形成。 聚合物嵌段组分的图案被转移到第一光学层(4)中以形成纳米级突起的阵列。 或者,可以使用常规光刻来形成尺寸小于光的波长的突起。 第二光学层直接形成在第一光学层的突起上。 第一和第二光学层之间的界面具有渐变的折射率,并提供很少的反射光的高透射率。

    Abstract: Verfahren zum Bonden von Substratoberflächen, gebondete Substratanordnungen sowie Entwurfsstrukturen für eine gebondete Substratanordnung. Es werden Einheiten-Strukturen (18, 19, 20, 21) eines Produkt-Chips (25) unter Verwendung einer ersten Oberfläche (15) eines Einheiten-Substrats (10) gebildet. Auf dem Produkt-Chip wird eine Verdrahtungsschicht (26) einer Zwischenverbindungsstruktur für die Einheiten-Strukturen gebildet. Die Verdrahtungsschicht wird planarisiert. Ein provisorischer Handhabungswafer (52) wird entfernbar an die planarisierte Verdrahtungsschicht gebondet. In Reaktion auf das entfernbare Bonden des provisorischen Handhabungswafers an die planarisierte erste Verdrahtungsschicht wird eine zweite Oberfläche (54) des Einheiten-Substrats, die entgegengesetzt zu der ersten Oberfläche ist, an ein endgültiges Handhabungssubstrat (56) gebondet. Anschließend wird der provisorische Handhabungswafer von der Anordnung entfernt.

    Abstract: A plurality of image sensor structures and a plurality of methods for fabricating the plurality of image sensor structures provide for inhibited cracking and delamination of a lens capping layer (22) with respect to a planarizing layer (18) within the plurality of image sensor structures. Particular image sensor structures and related methods include at least one dummy lens layer (20') of different dimensions than active lens layer (20) located over a circuitry portion (Rl) of a substrate within the particular image sensor structures. Additional particular image sensor structures include at least one of an aperture (A) within the planarizing layer and a sloped endwall of the planarizing layer located over a circuitry portion (Rl) within the particular image sensor structures.

    Abstract: Methods for bonding substrate surfaces, bonded substrate assemblies, and design structures for a bonded substrate assembly. Device structures (18, 19, 20, 21) of a product chip (25) are formed using a first surface (15) of a device substrate (10). A wiring layer (26) of an interconnect structure for the device structures is formed on the product chip. The wiring layer is planarized. A temporary handle wafer (52) is removably bonded to the planarized wiring layer. In response to removably bonding the temporary handle wafer to the planarized first wiring layer, a second surface (54) of the device substrate, which is opposite to the first surface, is bonded to a final handle substrate (56). The temporary handle wafer is then removed from the assembly.
