Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an integrated chip that has a light sensing element arranged within a substrate. An absorption enhancement structure is arranged along a back-side of the substrate, and an interconnect structure is arranged along a front-side of the substrate. A reflection structure includes a dielectric structure and a plurality of semiconductor pillars that matingly engage the dielectric structure. The dielectric structure and semiconductor pillars are arranged along the front-side of the substrate and are spaced between the light sensing element and the interconnect structure. The plurality of semiconductor pillars and the dielectric structure are collectively configured to reflect incident light that has passed through the absorption enhancement structure and through the light sensing element back towards the light sensing element before the incident light strikes the interconnect structure.

Abstract: In a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, a substrate including a gate structure is provided. A source region and a drain region are formed at opposing sides of the gate structure and an implant region for a resistor device is formed in the substrate. Pocket implant regions are formed in the source region and the drain region. A dielectric layer is formed to cover the gate structure and the substrate. A portion of dopants in the pocket implant regions interact with portions of dopants in the source region and the drain region to form lightly doped drain regions above the pocket implant regions. A resistor region of the resistor device is defined on the implant region. A portion of the dielectric layer is removed to form a spacer on a sidewall of the gate structure and a resistor protection dielectric layer on a portion of the implant region.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an image sensor integrated chip having a grid structure that reduces crosstalk between pixel regions of an image sensor chip. In some embodiments, the integrated chip has an image sensing element arranged within a substrate. An absorption enhancement structure is disposed along the back-side of the substrate. A grid structure is arranged over the absorption enhancement structure. The grid structure defines an opening arranged over the image sensing element and extends from over the absorption enhancement structure to a location within the absorption enhancement structure. By having the grid structure extend into the absorption enhancement structure, the grid structure is able to reduce crosstalk between adjacent image sensing elements by blocking radiation reflected off of non-planar surfaces of the absorption enhancement structure from traveling to an adjacent pixel region.
