Abstract

See full text

A method of image sensor fabrication includes forming a second semiconductor layer on a back side of a first semiconductor layer. The method also includes forming one or more groups of pixels disposed in a front side of the first semiconductor layer. The one or more groups of pixels include a first portion of pixels separated from the second semiconductor layer by a spacer region, and a second portion of pixels, where a first doped region of the second portion of pixels is in contact with the second semiconductor layer. Pinning wells are also formed and separate individual pixels in the one or more groups of pixels, and the pinning wells extend through the first semiconductor layer. Deep pinning wells are also formed and separate the one or more groups of pixels.
