    Abstract: An image sensor includes a substrate having a surface at which incident light is received. A pixel array is formed over and within the substrate. The pixel array includes a first and a second pixel arranged to receive light of different colors. The first pixel includes a photosensitive region formed in the substrate and has a first anti-reflective coating (ARC) layer formed over the photosensitive region. The first ARC layer has a first thickness that produces destructive interference above the first ARC layer in response to the incident light. The second pixel includes a photosensitive region formed in the substrate, and a second ARC layer formed over the photosensitive region that produces destructive interference above the second ARC layer in response to the incident light.

    Abstract: A backside illuminated imaging sensor includes a semiconductor substrate, a metal interconnect layer and a light attenuating layer. The semiconductor substrate has a front surface, a back surface, and includes at least one imaging pixel formed on the front surface of the semiconductor substrate. The metal interconnect layer is electrically coupled to the imaging pixel and the light attenuating layer is coupled between the metal interconnect layer and the front surface of the semiconductor substrate. In operation, the imaging pixel receives light from the back surface of the semiconductor substrate, where a portion of the received light propagates through the imaging pixel to the light attenuating layer. The light attenuating layer is configured to substantially attenuate the portion of light received from the imaging pixel.

    Abstract: A backside illuminated imaging sensor includes a semiconductor having an imaging pixel that can include a photodiode region, an insulation layer, and a reflective layer. The photodiode is typically formed in the frontside of the semiconductor substrate. A surface shield layer can be formed on the frontside of the photodiode region. A light reflecting layer can be formed using silicided polysilicon on the frontside of the sensor. The photodiode region receives light from the back surface of the semiconductor substrate. When a portion of the received light propagates through the photodiode region to the light reflecting layer, the light reflecting layer reflects the portion of light received from the photodiode region towards the photodiode region. The silicided polysilicon light reflecting layer also forms a gate of a transistor for establishing a conductive channel between the photodiode region and a floating drain.

    Abstract: 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.
