    Abstract: Implementations described herein reduce electron-hole pair generation due to silicon dangling bonds in pixel sensors. In some implementations, the silicon dangling bonds in a pixel sensor may be passivated by silicon-fluorine (Si—F) bonding in various portions of the pixel sensor such as a transfer gate contact via or a shallow trench isolation region, among other examples. The silicon-fluorine bonds are formed by fluorine implantation and/or another type of semiconductor processing operation. In some implementations, the silicon-fluorine bonds are formed as part of a cleaning operation using fluorine (F) such that the fluorine may bond with the silicon of the pixel sensor. Additionally, or alternatively, the silicon-fluorine bonds are formed as part of a doping operation in which boron (B) and/or another p-type doping element is used with fluorine such that the fluorine may bond with the silicon of the pixel sensor.

    Abstract: An image sensor device includes a substrate, photosensitive pixels, an interconnect structure, a dielectric layer, and a light blocking element. The photosensitive pixels are in the substrate. The interconnect structure is over a first side of the substrate. The dielectric layer is over a second side of the substrate opposite the first side of the substrate. The light blocking element has a first portion extending over a top surface of the dielectric layer and a second portion extending in the dielectric layer. The second portion of the light blocking element laterally surrounds the photosensitive pixels.

    Abstract: An image sensor device includes a semiconductor substrate, a radiation sensing member, a device layer and a trench isolation. The semiconductor substrate has a front side surface and a back side surface opposite to the front side surface. The radiation sensing member is disposed in a photosensitive region of the semiconductor substrate and extends from the front side surface of the semiconductor substrate. The radiation sensing member includes a semiconductor material with an optical band gap energy smaller than 1.77 eV. The device layer is over the front side surface of the semiconductor substrate and the radiation sensing member. The trench isolation is disposed in an isolation region of the semiconductor substrate and extends from the back side surface of the semiconductor substrate.

    Abstract: An image sensor is provided including a substrate, an array of photosensitive units, a grid, a light-tight layer and a plurality of color filters. In the image sensor, the grid has a top surface, and the light-tight layer is disposed on the top surface of the grid. Due to the light-tight layer on the grid, an incident light entering into the grid can be blocked by the light-tight layer, so that the crosstalk effect is reduced significantly. Further, a method for manufacturing the image sensor also provides herein.
