    摘要: The structures of reflective shields and methods of making such structures described enable reflection of light that has not be absorbed by photodiodes in image sensor devices and increase quantum efficiency of the photodiodes. Such structures can be applied (or used) for any image sensors to improve image quality. Such structures are particular useful for image sensors with smaller pixel sizes and for long-wavelength light (or rays), whose absorption length (or depth) could be insufficient, especially for backside illumination (BSI) devices. The reflective shields could double, or more than double, the absorption depth for light passing through the image sensors and getting reflected back to the photodiodes. Concave-shaped reflective shields have the additional advantage of directing reflected light toward the image sensors.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for packaging a backside illuminated (BSI) image sensor or a BSI sensor device with an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) are disclosed. A bond pad array may be formed in a bond pad area of a BSI sensor where the bond pad array comprises a plurality of bond pads electrically interconnected, wherein each bond pad of the bond pad array is of a small size which can reduce the dishing effect of a big bond pad. The plurality of bond pads of a bond pad array may be interconnected at the same layer of the pad or at a different metal layer. The BSI sensor may be bonded to an ASIC in a face-to-face fashion where the bond pad arrays are aligned and bonded together.
