    摘要: An image sensor includes a semiconductor layer that filters light of different wavelengths. For example, the semiconductor layer absorbs photons of shorter wavelengths and passes more photons of longer wavelengths such that the longer wavelength photons often pass through without being absorbed. An imaging pixel having a photodiode is formed near a front side of the semiconductor layer. A dopant layer is formed below the photodiode near a back side of the semiconductor layer. A mirror that primarily reflects photons of longer visible wavelengths is disposed on the back side of the semiconductor layer.

    摘要: An image sensor includes a semiconductor layer that low-pass filters light of different wavelengths. For example, the semiconductor layer proportionately absorbs photons of shorter wavelengths and proportionately passes more photons of longer wavelengths such that the longer wavelength photons often pass through without being absorbed. An imaging pixel having a photodiode is formed on a front surface of the semiconductor layer, where the photodiode is an N− region formed within the P-type region of the semiconductor layer. A P+ layer is formed between the N− region of the photodiode and a back surface of the semiconductor layer. A mirror that primarily reflects photons of red and/or infra-red wavelengths is formed on the back surface of the semiconductor layer.

    摘要: An array of pixels is formed using a substrate, where each pixel has a substrate having an incident side for receiving incident light, a photosensitive region formed in the substrate, and a reflector having a complex-shaped surface. The reflector is formed in a portion of the substrate that is opposed to the incident side such that light incident on the complex-shaped surface of the reflector is reflected towards the photosensitive region.

    摘要: A method of operation of a backside illuminated (BSI) pixel array includes acquiring an image signal with a first photosensitive region of a first pixel within the BSI pixel array. The image signal is generated in response to light incident upon a backside of the first pixel. The image signal acquired by the first photosensitive region is transferred to pixel circuitry of the first pixel disposed on a frontside of the first pixel opposite the backside. The pixel circuitry at least partially overlaps the first photosensitive region of the first pixel and extends over die real estate above a second photosensitive region of a second pixel adjacent to the first pixel such that the second pixel donates die real estate unused by the second pixel to the first pixel to accommodate larger pixel circuitry than would fit within the first pixel.
