Process for making a CMOS image sensor

An image sensor includes a semi-conducting substrate having a photo-sensitive region and doping for forming a path to a charge-to-voltage mechanism; a dielectric spanning the substrate; and a semi-conducting layer, which is less than approximately 1 micrometer, spanning the dielectric which contains...

Summary:An image sensor includes a semi-conducting substrate having a photo-sensitive region and doping for forming a path to a charge-to-voltage mechanism; a dielectric spanning the substrate; and a semi-conducting layer, which is less than approximately 1 micrometer, spanning the dielectric which contains electrodes and circuit elements that control flow of charge.
