  • Abstract
    Thinned backside illuminated CMOS imagers were developed, having a thick epitaxial layer with a graded doping concentration. All thin wafer processing is performed on 200 mm wafers using a specially developed temporary carrier process. Following appropriate backside treatment, high quantum efficiency above 80% between 400 and 870 nm was obtained, in agreement with simulation.
