Abstract:
A 4-color pixel image sensor having a visible color noise reduction function in a near infrared ray (NIR) pixel may include an active pixel region having a plurality of photodiodes, a plurality of first metal layers, a plurality of color filters, a first NIR pixel and a micro-lens, which are stacked, wherein the plurality of photodiodes are arranged in series and the plurality of color filters are formed to be adjacent to each other in series; an NIR optical black pixel region having a plurality of photodiodes and a second NIR pixel, which are stacked, wherein the plurality of photodiodes are arranged in series; and a visible optical black pixel region having a plurality of photodiodes, a second metal layer, a plurality of color filters and a micro-lens, which are stacked, wherein the plurality of photodiodes are arranged in series, and the plurality of color filters are formed to be adjacent to each other in series, wherein the active pixel region, the NIR optical black pixel region and the visible optical black pixel region are arranged on a same substrate in series.
Abstract:
A technology capable of simplifying a process and securing a misalignment margin when bonding two wafers to manufacture an image sensor using backside illumination photodiodes. When manufacturing an image sensor through a 3D CIS (CMOS image sensor) manufacturing process, two wafers, that is, a first wafer and a second wafer are electrically connected using the vias of one wafer and the bonding pads of the other wafer. Also, when manufacturing an image sensor through a 3D CIS manufacturing process, two wafers are electrically connected using the vias of both the two wafers.
