Patent
Backside contact for touchchip
TL;DR: In this paper, a contact is formed within an active region of a substrate at the edge of a die, and an interconnect is formed on the opening sidewall to connect the active region contact with a die contact pad on the backside surface of the substrate.
Patent
Electrostatic discharge protection for integrated circuit sensor passivation
TL;DR: In this article, a structure and method for creating an integrated circuit passivation (24) comprising, a circuit (16), a dielectric (18), and metal plates (20) over which an insulating layer (26) is disposed that electrically and hermetically isolates the circuit, and a discharge layer (32) that is deposited to form a passivation that protects the circuit from electrostatic discharges caused by, e.g., a finger, is disclosed.
Patent
Organic semiconductor sensor device
TL;DR: In this article, sensor cells are arranged in an array in an organic semiconductor layer to determine the presence of an object, such as a fingerprint ridge or valley, contacting or proximate to a sensing surface above each cell.
Patent
Fingerprint detector with scratch resistant surface and embedded ESD protection grid
TL;DR: In this article, a fingerprint detector has a smooth sensor surface for contact with a fingerprint including capacitive sensor plates defining an array of sensor cells below the sensor surface and tungsten ESD protection grid lines surrounding each sensor cell.
Patent
Selectively doped electrostatic discharge layer for an integrated circuit sensor
TL;DR: In this paper, a structure and method for creating an integrated circuit passivation structure comprising, a circuit, a dielectric, and metal plates over which an insulating layer is disposed that electrically isolates the circuit, and a discharge layer that is deposited to form the passivated structure that protects the circuit from electrostatic discharges caused by, e.g., a finger, is disclosed.
