Abstract:
The present invention relates to a CMOS image sensor including an infrared pixel with enhanced spectral characteristics in which a stepped portion is formed between color filters of RGB pixels and a filter of an infrared pixel, and a manufacturing method thereof. A stepped portion is formed between color filters and an infrared filter according to respective pixels and the thicknesses of the filters are arbitrarily adjusted regardless of the characteristics of material in the formation of the color filters and the infrared filter, so that crosstalk characteristics are improved.
Abstract:
The present invention provides relates to a substrate separation-type three-dimensional chip stacking image sensor of which a noise characteristic is improved by separately implementing an image sensor circuit as a first semiconductor chip and a second semiconductor chip and physically separating substrate respectively forming the first semiconductor chip and the second semiconductor chip, and a method for manufacturing the same. The present invention has the advantage that even though a plurality of circuit blocks are formed on one semiconductor substrate, the substrate is physically separated such that the separated substrates independently operate.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a CMOS image sensor including a color microlens, in which the color characteristics of a microlens are improved by replacing a microlens made of a transparent material with a material having characteristics similar to those of a color filter, and a manufacturing method thereof. In accordance with the CMOS image sensor including a color microlens and the manufacturing method thereof according to the present invention, color characteristics is improved. Since formation processes of a color filter and a microlens are performed at one time, additional processes for planarization and step difference adjustment are not necessary, so that an entire process is simplified. In the progress of light, since there is no interface between materials, reflection, refraction and the like are reduced, so that it is possible to increase light efficiency.
