    摘要: The image sensor includes a pixel array including a plurality of pixels arranged in a non-red-green-blue (RGB) Bayer pattern, an analog-to-digital converter configured to convert an analog pixel signal output from each of the pixels into a digital pixel signal and an RGB converter configured to convert the digital pixel signal into an RGB Bayer signal. Accordingly, the image sensor is compatible with a universal image signal processor (ISP), which receives and processes RGB Bayer signals, without an additional compatible device or module.

A backside illumination CMOS image sensor includes a metal layer, an insulating layer and a photodiode. The insulating layer is on the metal layer. The photodiode is on the insulating layer, and a top face of the photodiode, which receives light, is curved. A method of manufacturing a backside illumination CMOS image sensor including a photodiode having a convex surface includes forming an island smaller than the photodiode on a portion of a light-receiving face of the photodiode, and annealing the island to form the photodiode having the convex light-receiving face.
