    Abstract: A method of fabricating a pixel array includes forming a transistor network along a frontside of a semiconductor substrate. A contact element is formed for every pixel in the pixel array that is electrically coupled to a transistor within the transistor network. An interconnect layer is formed upon the frontside to control the transistor network with a dielectric that covers the contact element. A cavity is formed in the interconnect layer. A conductive layer is formed along cavity walls of the cavity and a dielectric layer is formed over the conductive layer within the cavity. A photosensitive semiconductor material is deposited over the dielectric layer within the cavity. An electrode cavity is formed that extends into the contact element. The electrode cavity is at least partially filled with a conductive material to form an electrode. The electrode, the conductive layer, and the photosensitive semiconductor material form a photosensitive capacitor.

    Abstract: An image sensor with embedded wells for accommodating light emitters includes a semiconductor substrate including an array of doped sensing regions respectively corresponding to an array of photosensitive pixels of the image sensor. The semiconductor substrate forms an array of wells. Each well is aligned with a respective doped sensing region to facilitate detection, by the photosensitive pixel that includes said respective doped sensing region, of light emitted to the photosensitive pixel by a light emitter disposed in the well. The image sensor further includes, between adjacent doped sensing regions, a light-blocking barrier to reduce propagation of light to the doped sensing-region of each photosensitive pixel from wells not aligned therewith.
