  • Publication number: 20080251821
    Abstract: A method to fabricate an image sensor includes providing a semiconductor substrate having a pixel area and a logic area, forming a light sensing element in the pixel area, and forming a first transistor in the pixel area and a second transistor in the logic area. The step of forming the first transistor in the pixel area and the second transistor in the logic area includes performing a first implant process in the pixel area and the logic area, performing a second implant process in the pixel area and the logic area, and performing a third implant process only in the logic area.

  • Publication number: 20080012092
    Abstract: A structure of a capacitor set is described, including at least two capacitors that are disposed at the same position on a substrate and include a first capacitor and a second capacitor. The first capacitor includes multiple first capacitor units electrically connected with each other in parallel. The second capacitor includes multiple second capacitor units electrically connected with each other in parallel. The first and the second capacitor units are arranged spatially intermixing with each other to form an array.
