Abstract: Some embodiments relate to an image sensor. The image sensor includes a semiconductor substrate including a pixel region and a peripheral region. A backside isolation structure extends into a backside of the semiconductor substrate and laterally surrounds the pixel region. The backside isolation structure includes a metal core, and a dielectric liner separates the metal core from the semiconductor substrate. A conductive feature is disposed over a front side of the semiconductor substrate. A through substrate via extends from the backside of the semiconductor substrate through the peripheral region to contact the conductive feature. The through substrate via is laterally offset from the backside isolation structure. A conductive bridge is disposed beneath the backside of the semiconductor substrate and electrically couples the metal core of the backside isolation structure to the through substrate via.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an image sensor having an image sensing element surrounded by a BDTI structure, and an associated method of formation. In some embodiments, a first image sensing element and a second image sensing element are arranged next to one another within an image sensing die. A pixel dielectric stack is disposed along a back of the image sensing die overlying the image sensing elements. The pixel dielectric stack includes a first high-k dielectric layer and a second high-k dielectric layer. The BDTI structure is disposed between the first image sensing element and the second image sensing element and extends from the back of the image sensor die to a position within the image sensor die.

Abstract: A metal grid within a trench isolation structure on the back side of an image sensor is coupled to a contact pad so that a voltage on the metal grid is continuously variable with a voltage on the contact pad. One or more conductive structures directly couple the metal grid to a contact pad. The conductive structures may bypass a front side of the image sensor. A bias voltage on the metal grid may be varied through the contact pad whereby a trade-off between reducing cross-talk and increasing quantum efficiency may be adjusted dynamically in accordance with the application of the image sensor, its environment of use, or its mode of operation.
