    摘要: Provided is a method for fabricating an image sensor device that includes providing a substrate having a front side and a back side; patterning a photoresist on the front side of the substrate to define an opening having a first width, the photoresist having a first thickness correlated to the first width; performing an implantation process through the opening using an implantation energy correlated to the first thickness thereby forming a first doped isolation feature; forming a light sensing feature adjacent to the first doped isolation feature, the light sensing feature having a second width; and thinning the substrate from the back side so that the substrate has a second thickness that does not exceed twice a depth of the first doped isolation feature. A pixel size is substantially equal to the first and second widths.

    摘要: An image sensor device including a semiconductor substrate that includes an array region and a black level correction region. The array region contains a plurality of radiation-sensitive pixels. The black level correction region contains one or more reference pixels. The substrate has a front side and a back side. The image sensor device includes a first compressively-stressed layer formed on the back side of the substrate. The first compressively-stressed layer contains silicon oxide, and is negatively charged. The second compressively-stressed layer contains silicon nitride, and is negatively charged. A metal shield is formed over at least a portion of the black level correction region. The image sensor device includes a third compressively-stressed layer formed on the metal shield and the second compressively-stressed layer. The third compressively-stressed layer contains silicon oxide. A sidewall of the metal shield is protected by the third compressively-stressed layer.
