    摘要: In an example embodiment, the backside-illuminated image sensor includes a substrate including a plurality of photoelectric conversion devices being separated by a semiconductor. The backside-illuminated sensor further includes a transparent electrode layer or a metal layer formed on a surface of a substrate. As a positive bias voltage or a negative bias voltage is applied to the transparent electrode layer or the metal layer, generation of dark current in the surface of the silicon substrate may be reduced or suppressed.
