Abstract

See full text

An imaging system may include an imager integrated circuit with frontside components such as imaging pixels and backside components. The imager integrated circuit may also include mirrored alignment marks formed with the frontside components. As part of forming the backside components, the integrated circuit may be flipped over such that the mirrored alignment marks are no longer mirrored and are readable by alignment systems. The formerly mirrored alignment marks may be used by the alignment systems in aligning the backside components with the frontside components in the imager integrated circuit (e.g., in forming the backside components in alignment with the frontside components).
