Abstract:
Disclosed herein is an electronic device including an integrated circuit substrate, with a pixel array area within the integrated circuit substrate. A first deep trench isolation structure is formed in the integrated circuit substrate about a perimeter of the pixel array area. First, second, third, and fourth pixels are within the pixel array area and spaced apart from one another. A storage capacitor area is within the integrated circuit substrate and interior to the first deep trench isolation structure. A second deep trench isolation structure is formed in the integrated circuit substrate about a perimeter of the storage capacitor area. The second deep trench isolation structure may serve to electrically isolate the storage capacitor area from the first, second, third, and fourth pixels.
