    Abstract: A back side illuminated image sensor includes a pixel array including semiconductor material, and image sensor circuitry disposed on a front side of the semiconductor material to control operation of the pixel array. A first pixel includes a first doped region disposed proximate to a back side of the semiconductor material and extends into the semiconductor material a first depth to reach the image sensor circuitry. A second pixel with a second doped region is disposed proximate to the back side of the semiconductor material and extends into the semiconductor material a second depth which is less than the first depth. A third doped region is disposed between the second doped region and the image sensor circuitry front side of the semiconductor material. The third doped region is electrically isolated from the first doped region and the second doped region.

    Abstract: An image sensor pixel including a photodiode includes a first dopant region disposed within a semiconductor layer and a second dopant region disposed above the first dopant region and within the semiconductor layer. The second dopant region contacts the first dopant region and the second dopant region is of an opposite majority charge carrier type as the first dopant region. A third dopant region is disposed above the first dopant region and within the semiconductor layer. The third dopant region is of a same majority charge carrier type as the second dopant region but has a greater concentration of free charge carriers than the second dopant region. A transfer gate is positioned to transfer photogenerated charge from the photodiode. The second dopant region extends closer to an edge of the transfer gate than the third dopant region.

    Abstract: A method of fabricating a pixel array includes forming a transistor network along a frontside of a semiconductor substrate. A contact element is formed for every pixel in the pixel array that is electrically coupled to a transistor within the transistor network. An interconnect layer is formed upon the frontside to control the transistor network with a dielectric that covers the contact element. A cavity is formed in the interconnect layer. A conductive layer is formed along cavity walls of the cavity and a dielectric layer is formed over the conductive layer within the cavity. A photosensitive semiconductor material is deposited over the dielectric layer within the cavity. An electrode cavity is formed that extends into the contact element. The electrode cavity is at least partially filled with a conductive material to form an electrode. The electrode, the conductive layer, and the photosensitive semiconductor material form a photosensitive capacitor.
