Chipworks Analyzes Samsung 1.4um BSI Sensor
Chipworks got a hold of Samsung S5K4E5 - a 1.4um pixel-based 5MP 1/4-inch mobile sensor. This is said to be Samsung's first BSI sensor with TSV technology. Samsung has indicated that it uses a lower-cost bulk silicon manufacturing process which they estimated to be 4x to 5x lower wafer cost compared with SOI.

it seems that the back surface is connected electrically to outside. Is this for back surface biasing??
