    Abstract: Among other things, one or more image sensors and techniques for forming image sensors are provided. An image sensor comprises a photodiode array configured to detect light. The image sensor comprises an oxide grid comprising a first oxide grid portion and a second oxide grid portion. A metal grid is formed between the first oxide grid portion and the second oxide grid portion. The oxide grid and the metal grid define a filler grid. The filler grid comprises a filler grid portion, such as a color filter, that allows light to propagate through the filler grid portion to an underlying photodiode. The oxide grid and the metal grid confine or channel the light within the filler grid portion. The oxide grid and the metal grid are formed such that the filler grid provides a relatively shorter propagation path for the light, which improves light detection performance of the image sensor.

    Abstract: A semiconductor arrangement and method of formation are provided herein. A semiconductor arrangement includes an active area on a substrate, where the active area is at least one of a p-type region or an n-type region. The substrate includes a well, where the well is a p-well when the active area is a p-type region, and the well is an n-well when the active area is an n-type region. The well includes a photodiode. The active area is connected to a voltage supply having a voltage level, such as ground. The active area on the substrate increases a distance between the photodiode and the active area, which reduces junction leakage as compared to a semiconductor arrangement where the active area is formed at least partially within the substrate.
