Abstract
The present invention provides systems, devices and methods for fabricating miniature low-power light sensors. With the present invention, a light sensitive component, such as a diode, is fabricated on the front side of a silicon wafer. Connectivity from the front side of the wafer to the back side of the wafer is provided by a through silicon via. Solder bumps are then placed on the back side of the wafer to provide coupling to a printed circuit board. The techniques described in the present invention may also be applied to other types of semiconductor devices, such as light-emitting diodes, image sensors, pressure sensors, and flow sensors.
