    Abstract: Provided is a semiconductor image sensor device. The image sensor device includes a semiconductor substrate that includes an array region and a black level correction region. The array region contains a plurality of radiation-sensitive pixels. The black level correction region contains one or more reference pixels. The substrate has a front side and a back side. The image sensor device includes a first compressively-stressed layer formed on the back side of the substrate. The first compressively-stressed layer contains silicon nitride. The image sensor device includes a metal shield formed on the compressively-stressed layer. The metal shield is formed over at least a portion of the black level correction region. The image sensor device includes a second compressively-stressed layer formed on the metal shield and the first compressively-stressed layer. The second compressively-stressed layer contains silicon oxide. A sidewall of the metal shield is protected by the second compressively-stressed layer.

    Abstract: A system and method for image sensing is disclosed. An embodiment comprises a substrate with a pixel region, the substrate having a front side and a backside. A co-implant process is performed along the backside of the substrate opposing a photosensitive element positioned along the front side of the substrate. The co-implant process utilizes a first pre-amorphization implant process that creates a pre-amorphization region. A dopant is then implanted wherein the pre-amorphization region retards or reduces the diffusion or tailing of the dopants into the photosensitive region. An anti-reflective layer, a color filter, and a microlens may also be formed over the co-implant region.
