A method of forming a small geometry feature. The method includes forming a source layer on a top surface of a substrate; forming a mandrel on a top surface of the source layer, the mandrel having a sidewall; sputtering material from the source layer onto the sidewall of the mandrel to form a sidewall layer on the sidewall of the mandrel; and removing the mandrel. Also methods to forming wires and field effect transistors of integrated circuits.

A solid state image sensor, a method for fabricating the solid state image sensor and a design structure for fabricating the solid state image sensor structure include a substrate that in turn includes a photosensitive region. Also included within solid state image sensor is a non-planar reflector layer located over a side of the photosensitive region and the substrate opposite an incoming radiation side of the photosensitive region and the substrate. The non-planar reflector layer is shaped and positioned to reflect uncaptured incident radiation back into the photosensitive region while avoiding optical cross-talk with an additional photosensitive region laterally separated within the substrate.
