Abstract: Some embodiments of the present disclosure provide an optical sensor. The optical sensor includes a semiconductive substrate. A light sensing region is on the semiconductive substrate. A waveguide region is configured to guide light from a wave insert portion through a waveguide portion and to a sample holding portion. The waveguide portion includes a first dielectric layer including a first refractive index. A second dielectric layer includes a second refractive index. The second refractive index is smaller than the first refractive index. A first interconnect portion is positioned in the waveguide portion, configured to transmit electrical signal from the light sensing region to an external circuit. The sample holding portion is over the light sensing region.
