abstract = "A 3D structured CMOS image sensor that can process signals pixel-wise in parallel is investigated as a means to simultaneously increase the pixel count and the frame rate. To make the pixel pitch finer, the Au electrode dimension is reduced to a 6-μm pitch that is electrically interconnected using a direct-bonding technique. We also develop a daisy-chain test device to examine the numerous interconnections. The experimental results show that the series of electrical interconnections exceeds 230,000 contacts, with the Au contact resistance for a single connection being ∼23.6 mω.",
