    摘要: A back-illuminated image sensor may include a substrate in which photodiodes are disposed; an insulating layer on a first surface of the substrate; an interconnection layer in the insulating layer; an anti-reflection layer between the substrate and the insulating layer; a plurality of color filters on a second surface of the substrate opposite to the first surface; and a microlens on the color filters. Because the anti-reflection layer may be between the substrate and an interlayer dielectric layer, the reflection rate of light that passes through the substrate and arrives at an interface between the substrate and the interlayer insulating layer may be reduced.

    摘要: For fabricating an image sensor, an isolation structure is formed to define a first active region of a semiconductor substrate. A first transistor and a second transistor of a unit pixel are formed in the first active region. In addition, a threshold voltage lowering region is formed in a portion of the semiconductor substrate near a portion of the isolation structure abutting the second transistor in the first active region. The threshold voltage lowering region causes the second transistor to have a respective threshold voltage magnitude that is lower than for the first transistor. The threshold voltage lowering region is formed simultaneously with a passivation region in a second active region having a photodiode formed therein.
