    • A fingerprint sensor includes a plurality of semiconductor devices adjacent a substrate and defining active circuit portions, and having only three metal layers. More particularly, the sensor may include a first metal layer interconnecting predetermined ones of the plurality of semiconductor devices; a second metal layer defining a ground plane; and a third metal layer comprising an array of electric field sensing electrodes connected to active circuit portions for generating an output related to a sensed fingerprint. The fingerprint sensor may also include a package surrounding the substrate and having an opening aligned with the sensing electrodes. In addition, a first external electrode may be carried by the package for contact by a finger. The sensor may thus also include an excitation drive circuit connected between the ground plane and the first external electrode for generating electric fields between the electric field sensing electrodes and adjacent finger portions. A power control circuit is for controlling operation of active circuit portions based upon sensing finger contact with the first external electrode so that the active circuit portions are powered upon sensing finger contact with the first external electrode and otherwise grounded. A second external electrode may be connected to a bleed resistor to bleed charge from the finger prior to switching from the grounded to the powered state. An amplifier connected between each electric field sensing electrode and associated shield electrode may be operated at a gain of greater than one for additional noise rejection.
    • 指纹传感器包括与基板相邻并且限定有源电路部分并且仅具有三个金属层的多个半导体器件。 更具体地,传感器可以包括互连多个半导体器件中的预定半导体器件的第一金属层; 限定接地平面的第二金属层; 以及第三金属层,包括连接到有源电路部分的电场感测电极的阵列,用于产生与感测的指纹相关的输出。 指纹传感器还可以包括围绕衬底并具有与感测电极对准的开口的封装。 此外,第一外部电极可以由包装件携带以用手指接触。 因此,传感器还可以包括连接在接地平面和第一外部电极之间的激励驱动电路,用于在电场感测电极和相邻的手指部分之间产生电场。 功率控制电路用于基于感测到与第一外部电极的手指接触来控制有源电路部分的操作,使得有源电路部分被感测到与第一外部电极的手指接触并以其它方式接地。 第二外部电极可以连接到放电电阻器,以在从接地切换到供电状态之前从手指泄放电荷。 连接在每个电场感测电极和相关联的屏蔽电极之间的放大器可以以大于1的增益操作以用于附加的噪声抑制。
