    摘要: An image sensor improving the uniformity of effective incident light. In one example, the size of microlenses disposed in different regions of the image sensor is changed to balance the brightness in different regions, in which the size of each microlens is a function of the distance between the microlens to the chip center In another example, the distance between the center of the microlens and the center of the corresponding sensing area is changed to balance the brightness in different regions and the corresponding color filters are shifted such that the microlens is overlying a corresponding color filter unit without overlying adjacent regions thereof, in which the distance between the center of the microlens and the center of the corresponding sensing area is a function of the distance between the corresponding sensing area to the chip center.

    摘要: A method for forming an image sensor device. An alignment mark is formed on or in a substrate with distance from the alignment mark to the substrate edge less than about 3 mm. An array of active photosensing pixels is formed on the substrate. At least one dielectric layer is formed covering the substrate and the array. A color filter photoresist is formed on the least one dielectric layer. Subsequent to removal of the color filter photoresist from the alignment mark, the color filter photoresist is exposed with alignment to the alignment mark.

    摘要: An image sensor device and method for forming said device are described. The image sensor structure comprises a substrate with photodiodes, an interconnect structure formed on the substrate, a color filter layer above the interconnect structure, a first microlens array, an overcoat layer, and a second microlens array. A key feature is that a second microlens has a larger radius of curvature than a first microlens. Additionally, each first microlens and second microlens is a flat convex lens. Thus, a thicker second microlens with a short focal length is aligned above a thinner first microlens having a long focal length. A light column that includes a first microlens, a second microlens and a color filter region is formed above each photodiode. A second embodiment involves replacing a second microlens in each light column with a plurality of smaller second microlenses that focus light onto a first microlens.

    摘要: A new method to form passivation openings in the manufacture of an integrated circuit device is achieved. The passivation openings have gradually sloping sidewalls that allow a protective tape to be completely removed without leaving adhesive residue. A semiconductor substrate is provided. A passivation layer is deposited. An organic photoresist layer is deposited overlying the passivation layer. The organic photoresist layer is patterned to expose the passivation layer in areas where passivation openings are planned. The organic photoresist layer is reflowed to create gradually sloping sidewalls on the organic photoresist layer. The passivation layer is etched through to from the passivation openings. The passivation openings are thereby formed with gradually sloping sidewalls. The organic photoresist layer is stripped away. A protective tape is applied overlying the passivation layer and the passivation openings. The protective tape is removed. The gradually sloping sidewalls on the passivation openings allow the protective tape to be completely removed without leaving adhesive residue in the manufacture of the integrated circuit device.
