Abstract: An image sensor includes a plurality of photodiodes, a plurality of color filters, and a plurality of microlenses. The plurality of photodiodes are arranged as a photodiode array, each of the plurality of photodiodes disposed within respective portions of a semiconductor material with a first lateral area. The plurality of color filters are arranged as a color filter array optically aligned with the photodiode array. Each of the plurality of color filters having a second lateral area greater than the first lateral area. The plurality of microlenses are arranged as a microlens array optically aligned with the color filter array and the photodiode array. Each of the plurality of microlenses have a third later area greater than the first lateral area and less than the second lateral area.

Abstract: An imaging system capable of black level calibration includes an imaging pixel array, at least one black reference pixel, and peripheral circuitry. The imaging pixel array includes a plurality of active pixels each coupled to capture image data. The black reference pixel is coupled to generate a black reference signal for calibrating the image data. Light transmitting layers are disposed on a first side of a pixel array die including the imaging system and cover at least the imaging pixel array and the black reference pixel. A light shielding layer is disposed on the first side of the pixel array die and covers a portion of the light transmitting layers and the black reference pixel without covering the imaging pixel array.

Abstract: Half Quad Photodiode (QPD) for improving QPD channel imbalance. In one embodiment, an image sensor includes a plurality of pixels arranged in rows and columns of a pixel array that is disposed in a semiconductor material. Each pixel includes a plurality of subpixels. Each subpixel comprises a plurality of first photodiodes, a plurality of second photodiodes and a plurality of third photodiodes. The plurality of pixels are configured to receive incoming light through an illuminated surface of the semiconductor material. A plurality of small microlenses are individually distributed over individual first photodiodes and individual second photodiodes of each subpixel. A plurality of large microlenses are each distributed over a plurality of third photodiodes of each subpixel. A diameter of the small microlenses is smaller than a diameter of the large microlenses.

Abstract: Image sensors for Phase-Detection Auto Focus (PDAF) are provided. An image sensor includes a pixel including a plurality of photodiodes disposed in a semiconductor material according to an arrangement. The arrangement defines a first image subpixel comprising a plurality of first photodiodes, a second image subpixel comprising a plurality of second photodiodes, and a third image subpixel including a plurality of third photodiodes, and a phase detection subpixel comprising a first photodiode, a second photodiode, or a third photodiodes. The pixel can include a plurality of first micro-lenses disposed individually overlying at least a subset of the plurality of photodiodes of the first, second and third image subpixels. The pixel can also include a second micro-lens disposed overlying the phase detection subpixel, a first micro-lens of the first micro-lenses having a first radius less than a second radius of the second micro-lens.
