    摘要: A color pixel array includes first, second, and third pluralities of color pixels each including a photosensitive region disposed within a first semiconductor layer. In one embodiment, a second semiconductor layer including deep dopant regions is disposed below the first semiconductor layer. The deep dopant regions each reside below a corresponding one of the first plurality of color pixels but substantially not below the second and third pluralities of color pixels. In one embodiment, buried wells are disposed beneath the second and third pluralities of color pixels but substantially not below the first plurality of color pixels.

    摘要: A method of forming trenches in a semiconductor device includes forming an etchant barrier layer above a first portion of a semiconductor layer. A first trench is etched in a second portion of the semiconductor layer using a first etchant. The second portion of the semiconductor layer is not disposed underneath the etchant barrier layer. The etchant barrier layer is etched through using a second etchant that does not substantially etch the semiconductor layer. A second trench is etched in the first portion of the semiconductor layer using a third etchant. The third etchant also extends a depth of the first trench.

    摘要: A backside illuminated image sensor includes a semiconductor layer and a trench disposed in the semiconductor layer. The semiconductor layer has a frontside surface and a backside surface. The semiconductor layer includes a light sensing element of a pixel array disposed in a sensor array region of the semiconductor layer. The pixel array is positioned to receive external incoming light through the backside surface of the semiconductor layer. The semiconductor layer also includes a light emitting element disposed in a periphery circuit region of the semiconductor layer external to the sensor array region. The trench is disposed in the semiconductor layer between the light sensing element and the light emitting element. The trench is positioned to impede a light path between the light emitting element and the light sensing element when the light path is internal to the semiconductor layer.
