    摘要: An interconnect layout, an image sensor including the interconnect layout and a method for fabricating the image sensor each use a first electrically active physical interconnect layout pattern within an active pixel region and a second electrically active physical interconnect layout pattern spatially different than the first electrically active physical interconnect layout pattern within a dark pixel region. The second electrically active physical interconnect layout pattern includes at least one electrically active interconnect layer interposed between a light shield layer and a photosensor region aligned therebeneath, thus generally providing a higher wiring density. The higher wiring density within the second layout pattern provides that that the image sensor may be fabricated with enhanced manufacturing efficiency and a reduction of metallization levels.

The first semiconductor substrate and the second semiconductor substrate are bonded so that the first photosensitive diode is located underneath the second photosensitive diode. The vertical stack of the first and second photosensitive diodes detects light in the combined detection wavelength range of the first and second semiconductor materials. Sensing devices may be shared between the first and second photosensitive diodes.
