Abstract: A color image sensor including an array of pixels is formed in a semiconductor layer having a back side that receives an illumination. Insulated conductive walls penetrate into the semiconductor layer from the back side and separate the pixels from one another. For each pixel, a color pixel penetrates into from 5 to 30% of a thickness of the semiconductor layer from the back side and occupies at least 90% of the surface area delimited by the walls. An electrically-conductive layer extends from the lateral wall of the filter all the way to the walls.

Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a substrate with an active area, a first insulating layer, a second insulating layer, and a phase-change material. The integrated circuit further includes a heating element in an L-shape, with a long side in direct physical contact with the phase-change material and a short side in direct physical contact with a via. The heating element is surrounded by first, second, and third insulating spacers, with the first insulating spacer having a planar first sidewall in contact with the long side of the heating element, a convex second sidewall, and a planar bottom face in contact with the short side of the heating element. The second and third insulating spacers are in direct contact with the first insulating spacer and the long side of the heating element.

Abstract: A semiconductor substrate includes a photodiode region, a charge storage region electrically coupled to the photodiode region and a capacitive deep trench isolation (CDTI) structure including a conductive region positioned between the photodiode region and the charge storage region. A contact etch stop layer overlies the semiconductor substrate and a premetallization dielectric layer overlies the contact etch stop layer. A first trench, filled with a metal material, extends through the premetallization dielectric layer and bottoms out at or in the contact etch stop layer. A second trench, also filled with the metal material, extends through the premetallization dielectric layer and the contact etch stop layer and bottoms out at or in the conductive region of the CDTI structure. The metal filled first trench forms an optical shield between the photodiode region and the charge storage region. The metal filled second trench forms a contact for biasing the CDTI structure.

Abstract: A back-illuminated integrated imaging device is formed from a semiconductor substrate including a zone of pixels bounded by capacitive deep trench isolations. A peripheral zone is located outside the zone of pixels. A continuous electrically conductive layer forms, in the zone of pixels, an electrode in a trench for each capacitive deep trench isolation, and forms, in the peripheral zone, a redistribution layer for electrically coupling the electrode to a biasing contact pad. The electrode is located in the trench between a trench dielectric and at least one material for filling the trench.

Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a back side illuminated image sensor formed by a substrate supporting at least one pixel, an interconnect part situated above a front side of the substrate and an anti-reflective layer situated above a back side of the substrate. The anti-reflective layer may be formed of a silicon nitride layer. An additional layer is situated above the anti-reflective layer. The additional layer is formed of one of amorphous silicon nitride or hydrogenated amorphous silicon nitride, in which the ratio of the number of silicon atoms per cubic centimeter to the number of nitrogen atoms per cubic centimeter is greater than 0.7.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing an image sensor, including the successive steps of: forming columns of a semiconductor material; forming one or several pixels at a first end of each of the columns; and deforming the structure so that the second ends of each of the columns come closer to each other or draw away from each other to form a surface in the shape of a polyhedral cap.
