Wtf is that title.

This doesn't mean that it has no purpose, but it isn't involved a bit in the operation. [...] Since the SRAM and CCD layers are pretty thin, they are pretty fragile and could result in damage during manufacturing or handling. With the added dummy silicon, the issue is eliminated.
