Abstract: An image-sensor device includes a substrate including a pixel region and a logic region. A logic transistor is disposed in the logic region and is surrounded by a logic isolation feature. A radiation-sensing region is disposed in the pixel region of the substrate. An epitaxial pixel isolation feature is disposed in the pixel region and surrounds the radiation-sensing region. A doped region with a same doping polarity as the radiation-sensing region is located between a bottom of the radiation-sensing region and the back surface of the substrate. The epitaxial pixel isolation feature is in direct contact with the doped region. The doped region extends continuously under the pixel region and the logic region. The epitaxial pixel isolation feature is in direct contact with the doped region, and the logic isolation feature is spaced apart from the doped region.

Abstract: Some embodiments relate to an image sensor. The image sensor includes a semiconductor substrate including a pixel region and a peripheral region. A backside isolation structure extends into a backside of the semiconductor substrate and laterally surrounds the pixel region. The backside isolation structure includes a metal core, and a dielectric liner separates the metal core from the semiconductor substrate. A conductive feature is disposed over a front side of the semiconductor substrate. A through substrate via extends from the backside of the semiconductor substrate through the peripheral region to contact the conductive feature. The through substrate via is laterally offset from the backside isolation structure. A conductive bridge is disposed beneath the backside of the semiconductor substrate and electrically couples the metal core of the backside isolation structure to the through substrate via.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an image sensor having an image sensing element surrounded by a BDTI structure, and an associated method of formation. In some embodiments, a first image sensing element and a second image sensing element are arranged next to one another within an image sensing die. A pixel dielectric stack is disposed along a back of the image sensing die overlying the image sensing elements. The pixel dielectric stack includes a first high-k dielectric layer and a second high-k dielectric layer. The BDTI structure is disposed between the first image sensing element and the second image sensing element and extends from the back of the image sensor die to a position within the image sensor die. The BDTI structure includes a trench filling layer surrounded by an isolation dielectric stack. The pixel dielectric stack has a composition different from that of the isolation dielectric stack.
