  • Publication number: 20070161141
    Abstract: A shielding layer outside a sensing region I of a CMOS image sensor includes a stack of a first monochromatic color filter layer and a second monochromatic color filter layer. Such a two-layered monochromatic color filter acts as a shielding layer, and the amount of black photoresist needed is decreased. Therefore, a process of CMOS image sensor fabrication is simplified and the cost of fabrication is decreased. The black pigment is prevented from remaining and causing contamination.

  • Patent number: 7149034
    Abstract: An assessing mark of microlens array fabricated in a scribe line region includes two vertical line patterns arranged substantially in parallel with each other, and a horizontal line pattern connecting the vertical line patterns. The vertical line patterns and horizontal line pattern define an inner index path. When treated by baking process, the two vertical line patterns are fluidized due to heat and partially merge together from the horizontal line pattern of the assessing mark along the inner index path.

  • Publication number: 20050271804
    Abstract: A manufacturing method of a color filter film and an image sensor device is provided. The manufacturing method of the color filter film, comprises forming a color filter material layer over a substrate. Then, a segregation layer is formed over the color filter material layer to reduce a component of the color filter material layer from escaping. Thereafter, a patterning process is performed over the color filter material layer to form a color filter pattern, wherein a segregation layer is removed during the patterning process. Accordingly, since a segregation layer is formed over the color filter material layer before the patterning process is performed, the problem of contamination of the apparatus due to the escape of the component of the color filter material layer during the patterning process is reduced.
