Imaging chip

By integrating such a color constancy algorithm directly into the imaging chip, we would obtain a color corrected image before the data is stored in memory. No external processor would be required. Efforts to create artificial retina chips have already tried to include functions such as edge detection, elimination of noise, and pattern matching directly into the image acquisition chip (Dudek and Hicks 2001 Kyuma et al. 1997). 

US- A-5146303 refers to the connection of an HgCdTe imager chip with Si read-out chips by the use of an interconnect structure. The structure facilitates testing and repair of the sensor. 

An HgCdTe imager chip 130 and Si read-out chips 140 are mounted on a substrate. The imager chip is connected to the read-out chips by an interconnect structure ISO in which a layer 152 of dielectric material is bonded to the chips and has interconnecting conductors disposed thereon and extending through via holes therein into ohmic contact with contact pads of the chips. A flexible portion in the structure enables the read-out and the imager chips to be disposed in different planes to provide a compact structure.
