Abstract
Provided are a solid-state image-capturing element and an electronic device capable of reducing the capacitance by using a hollow region. At least a part of a region between an FD wiring connected to a floating diffusion and a wiring other than the FD wiring is a hollow region. The present disclosure can be applied to a CMOS image sensor having, for example, a floating diffusion, a transfer transistor, an amplifying transistor, a selection transistor, a reset transistor, and a photodiode.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . A semiconductor device, comprising:
a first silicon layer; a second silicon layer bonded to the first silicon layer; and a wiring layer configured to electrically connect the first silicon layer to the second silicon layer, wherein a first hollow region is around the wiring layer.
2 . The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the wiring layer includes:
a first insulating film including a first material, and a second insulting film including a second material different from the first material.
3 . The semiconductor device according to claim 2 , wherein
a second hollow region is around the wiring layer, and the first insulating film is between the first hollow region and the second hollow region.
4 . The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the first silicon layer includes a floating diffusion.
5 . The semiconductor device according to claim 4 , wherein
the wiring layer includes:
a second hollow region,
a third hollow region, and
a wiring connected to the floating diffusion, and
the wiring is between the second hollow region and the third hollow region in a first direction.
6 . The semiconductor device according to claim 5 , wherein the wiring is not in contact with each of the first hollow region, the second hollow region, and the third hollow region.
7 . The semiconductor device according to claim 5 , wherein
the wiring layer further includes a transfer transistor, and the transfer transistor is between the second hollow region and the first silicon layer in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
