Abstract: Various embodiments of the present application are directed to a method for forming a semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) device with an impurity competing layer to absorb potential contamination metal particles during an annealing process, and the SOI structure thereof. In some embodiments, an impurity competing layer is formed on the dummy substrate. An insulation layer is formed over a support substrate. A front side of the dummy wafer is bonded to the insulation layer. An annealing process is performed and the impurity competing layer absorbs metal from an upper portion of the dummy substrate. Then, a majority portion of the dummy substrate is removed including the impurity competing layer, leaving a device layer of the dummy substrate on the insulation layer.

Abstract: The present disclosure, in some embodiments, relates to a method of forming an image sensor integrated chip. The method may be performed by forming an image sensing element within a substrate, and forming an absorption enhancement structure over a back-side of the substrate. The absorption enhancement structure is selectively etched to concurrently define a plurality of grid structure openings and a ground structure opening within the absorption enhancement structure. A grid structure is formed within the plurality of grid structure openings and a ground structure is formed within the ground structure opening. The grid structure extends from over the absorption enhancement structure to a location within the absorption enhancement structure.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an image sensor integrated chip having a grid structure that reduces crosstalk between pixel regions of an image sensor chip. In some embodiments, the integrated chip has an image sensing element arranged within a substrate. An absorption enhancement structure is disposed along the back-side of the substrate. A grid structure is arranged over the absorption enhancement structure. The grid structure defines an opening arranged over the image sensing element and extends from over the absorption enhancement structure to a location within the absorption enhancement structure. By having the grid structure extend into the absorption enhancement structure, the grid structure is able to reduce crosstalk between adjacent image sensing elements by blocking radiation reflected off of non-planar surfaces of the absorption enhancement structure from traveling to an adjacent pixel region.
