Back-illuminated imaging device

• The two bonded substrates photoelectric conversion unit and the peripheral circuit manufacturing to
• Photoelectric conversion unit and the peripheral circuit microprocessor which is connected by bump
• The incident light is changed and the current strong influence to adjacent pixels in the peripheral circuit, and noise (similar to a smear phenomenon).

Canon's patented

• And a peripheral circuit connected to a DC power supply photoelectric conversion unit
• Resistance is lowered, reducing the voltage drop
