    Abstract: An image sensor includes a substrate, a plurality of light sensitive pixels, a first plurality of color filters, a plurality of reflective sidewalls, and a second plurality of color filters. The light sensitive pixels are formed on said substrate. The first plurality of color filters is disposed over a first group of the light sensitive pixels. The reflective sidewalls are formed on each side of each of the first plurality of color filters. The second plurality of color filters are disposed over a second group of light sensitive pixels and each color filter of the second plurality of color filters is separated from each adjacent filter of said first plurality of color filters by one of the reflective sidewalls. In a particular embodiment an etch-resistant layer is disposed over the first plurality of color filters and the second group of light sensitive pixels.

    Abstract: A front-side-interconnect (FSI) red-green-blue-infrared (RGB-IR) photosensor array has photosensors of a first type with a diffused N-type region in a P-type well, the P-type well diffused into a high resistivity semiconductor layer; photosensors of a second type, with a deeper diffused N-type region in a P-type well, the P-type well; and photosensors of a third type with a diffused N-type region diffused into the high resistivity semiconductor layer underlying all of the other types of photosensors. In embodiments, photosensors of a fourth type have a diffused N-type region in a P-type well, the N-type region deeper than the N-type region of photosensors of the first and second types.

    Abstract: An image sensor pixel includes a photosensitive element, a floating diffusion region, a transfer gate, a dielectric charge trapping region, and a first metal contact. The photosensitive element is disposed in a semiconductor layer to receive electromagnetic radiation along a vertical axis. The floating diffusion region is disposed in the semiconductor layer, while the transfer gate is disposed on the semiconductor layer to control a flow of charge produced in the photosensitive element to the floating diffusion region. The dielectric charge trapping device is disposed on the semiconductor layer to receive electromagnetic radiation along the vertical axis and to trap charges in response thereto. The dielectric charge trapping device is further configured to induce charge in the photosensitive element in response to the trapped charges. The first metal contact is coupled to the dielectric charge trapping device to provide a first bias voltage to the dielectric charge trapping device.

    Abstract: An image sensor pixel includes a photodiode region having a first polarity doping type disposed in a semiconductor layer. A pinning surface layer having a second polarity doping type is disposed over the photodiode region in the semiconductor layer. The second polarity is opposite from the first polarity. A first polarity charge layer is disposed proximate to the pinning surface layer over the photodiode region. An contact etch stop layer is disposed over the photodiode region proximate to the first polarity charge layer. The first polarity charge layer is disposed between the pinning surface layer and the contact etch stop layer such that first polarity charge layer cancels out charge having a second polarity that is induced in the contact etch stop layer. A passivation layer is also disposed over the photodiode region between the pinning surface layer and the contact etch stop layer.
