    摘要: A method for fabricating a backside illuminated image sensor is provided. An exemplary method can include providing a substrate with a front surface and a back surface; forming a first alignment mark for global alignment on the front surface of the substrate; forming a second alignment mark for fine alignment in a clear-out region on the front surface of the substrate; aligning the substrate from the back surface using the first alignment mark; and removing a portion of the back surface of the substrate at the clear-out region for locating the second alignment mark.

    摘要: An image sensor includes a double-microlens structure with an outer microlens aligned over an inner microlens, both microlenses aligned over a corresponding photosensor. The inner or outer microlens may be formed by a silylation process in which a reactive portion of a photoresist material reacts with a silicon-containing agent. The inner or outer microlens may be formed by step etching of a dielectric material, the step etching process including a series of alternating etch steps including an anisotropic etching step and an etching step that causes patterned photoresist to laterally recede. Subsequent isotropic etching processes may be used to smooth the etched step structure and form a smooth lens. A thermally stable and photosensitive polymeric/organic material may also be used to form permanent inner or outer lenses. The photosensitive material is coated then patterned using photolithography, reflowed, then cured to form a permanent lens structure.
