    摘要: An apparatus and technique for fabricating an image sensor including the dark sidewall films disposed between adjacent color filters. The image sensor further includes an array of photosensitive elements disposed in a substrate layer, a color filter array (“CFA”) including CFA elements having at least two different colors disposed on a light incident side of the substrate layer, and an array of microlenses disposed over the CFA. Each microlens is aligned to direct light incident on the light incident side of the image sensor through a corresponding CFA element to a corresponding photosensitive element. The dark sidewall films are disposed on sides of the CFA elements and separate adjacent ones of the CFA elements having different colors.

    摘要: An image sensor with a high full-well capacity includes a photosensitive region, a transfer gate, and sidewall spacers. The photosensitive region is formed to accumulate an image charge in response to light. The transfer gate disposed adjacent to the photosensitive region and coupled to selectively transfer the image charge from the photosensitive region to other pixel circuitry. First and second sidewall spacers are disposed on either side of the transfer gate. The first sidewall spacer closest to the photosensitive region is narrower than the second sidewall spacer. In some cases, the first sidewall spacer may be omitted.

    摘要: A backside illuminated imaging sensor includes a vertical stacked sensor that reduces cross talk by using different silicon layers to form photodiodes at separate levels within a stack (or separate stacks) to detect different colors. Blue light-, green light-, and red light-detection silicon layers are formed, with the blue light detection layer positioned closest to the backside of the sensor and the red light detection layer positioned farthest from the backside of the sensor. An anti-reflective coating (ARC) layer can be inserted in between the red and green light detection layers to reduce the optical cross talk captured by the red light detection layer. Amorphous polysilicon can be used to form the red light detection layer to boost the efficiency of detecting red light.

    摘要: A backside illuminated imaging sensor includes a semiconductor layer, a metal interconnect layer and a silicide light reflecting layer. The semiconductor layer has a front surface and a back surface. An imaging pixel that includes a photodiode region is formed within the semiconductor layer. The metal interconnect layer is electrically coupled to the photodiode region and the silicide light reflecting layer is coupled between the metal interconnect layer and the front surface of the semiconductor layer. In operation, the photodiode region receives light from the back surface of the semiconductor layer, where a portion of the received light propagates through the photodiode region to the silicide light reflecting layer. The silicide light reflecting layer is configured to reflect the portion of light received from the photodiode region.
