Abstract
La présente invention supprime l'apparition de vides au niveau de l'interface de liaison entre un premier substrat et un second substrat qui forment un dispositif d'imagerie à semi-conducteurs. Un dispositif d'imagerie à semi-conducteurs comprend : un premier substrat sur lequel est formée une pluralité de premiers conducteurs qui comprennent une première partie conductrice et une deuxième partie conductrice; et un second substrat qui est lié au premier substrat et a formé sur celui-ci une pluralité de seconds conducteurs qui comprennent une troisième partie conductrice qui est placée à l'opposé de la première partie conductrice et une quatrième partie conductrice qui est placée à l'opposé de la deuxième partie conductrice. L'interface de liaison entre le premier substrat et le second substrat possède une quatrième région dans laquelle un premier film isolant qui est formé autour des premiers conducteurs et un second film isolant qui est formé autour des seconds conducteurs se chevauchent, et la fraction de la zone de la quatrième région par unité de surface est au moins une valeur prescrite qui se traduit par une force de liaison prescrite entre le premier substrat et le second substrat à n'importe quel emplacement dans une première région de câblage de l'interface de liaison dans laquelle la première partie conductrice et la troisième partie conductrice sont agencées et une seconde région de câblage de l'interface de liaison dans laquelle la deuxième partie conductrice et la quatrième partie conductrice sont agencées.
