Who comes up with these terms?

Moving the sensing plane/grid/metal collectors behind the photo diodes is a
nice idea. I think it will provide better sensor performance.

But how is it back lit? It is back sensed or back detected or back read, or
back ....

Geeez!

See:

I think that originally it meant that the chip sensed light from it's back
side, or lower surface, in the illustration above.

Cheers,
