Due to the emergence of machine vision, augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and automotive connectivity in recent years, the necessity for chip miniaturization has grown. These emerging, next-generation applications, which are centered on user experience and comfort, require their constituent chips, devices, and parts to be smaller, lighter, and more accessible. AR/VR applications, especially demand smaller components due to their primary application towards wearable technology, in which the user experience would be negatively impacted by large features and bulk. Therefore, chips and devices intended for next-generation consumer applications must be small and modular, to support module miniaturization and promote user comfort. To enable the chip miniaturization required for technological advancement and innovation, we developed a 2.2μm pixel pitch Back Side Illuminated (BSI) Voltage Domain Global Shutter (VDGS) image sensor with the three-wafer stacked technology. Each wafer is connected by Stacked Pixel Level Connection (SPLC) and the middle and logic wafers are connected using a Back side Through Silicon Via (BTSV). The separation of the sensing, charge storage, and logic functions to different wafers allows process optimization in each wafer, improving overall chip performance. The peripheral circuit region is reduced by 75% compared to the previous product without degrading image sensor performance. For the session: Processing at the Edge (joint with COIMG).
