  • Publication number: 20080248410
    Abstract: A method for forming a color filter is provided. A substrate having a passivasion layer thereon is provided. The passivasion layer has at least one trench therein within a peripheral region of the substrate. A first color filter layer is formed over the passivasion layer to fill the trench by performing a first spin-on coating process with a first spin rate. Thereafter, the first color filter layer is patterned so as to form a plurality of first color filter blocks in a display region of the substrate and expose a portion of the passivasion layer. A second color filter layer is formed over the passivasion layer by performing a second spin-on coating process with a second spin rate, which is larger than the first spin rate. Next, the second color filter layer is patterned to form a plurality of second color filter blocks between the first color filter blocks respectively.

  • Patent number: 7410822
    Abstract: A method for forming a color filter is provided. The method comprises steps of providing a substrate having a passivasion layer formed thereon. The substrate has at least one complementary metal-oxide semiconductor formed therein and the passivasion layer has at least trench formed therein in a peripheral region of the substrate. At least two adjacent color filter blocks are sequentially formed over the passivasion layer and the color filter blocks comprises a first color filter block and a second color filter block. The first color filter block and the second color filter block are disposed within a display region of the substrate. Moreover, the material for forming the first color filter, which is formed prior to the formation of the second color filter block, further fills the trench in the peripheral region simultaneously with a formation of the first color filter block.

  • Patent number: 7214998
    Abstract: A complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor layout structure is described. The CMOS image sensor layout structure includes a substrate, a plurality of light sensing devices, a plurality of transistors and a plurality of color-filtering film layers. The substrate has a pixel array region comprising a plurality of pixels. Each pixel has a light sensing region and an active device region. The pixels are isolated from one another by isolation structures and the light sensing regions have different sizes. The light sensing devices are defined separately within the respective light sensing regions. The transistors are disposed within the respective active device region. The color-filtering film layers are disposed separately above the pixels to form a color-filtering array.

  • Patent number: 7191481
    Abstract: This invention provides an improved bed. The bed comprises a top sheet, a bottom sheet connected with the top sheet, and at least one coil beam. The coil beam further comprises a first fastener attached to the top sheet, a second fastener attached to the bottom sheet, and a string connecting the first and second fasteners. In one embodiment, the first fastener further comprises a first attachment sheet with two first openings and a first bridge formed therebetween. The first attachment sheet is welded onto the top sheet. The string runs through the two first openings between the first bridge and the top sheet. In addition, the second fastener further comprises a second attachment sheet with two second openings and a second bridge formed therebetween. The second attachment sheet is welded onto the bottom sheet. The string runs through the two second openings between the second bridge and the bottom sheet.

  • Publication number: 20070059609
    Abstract: An optical proximity correction mask used for fabricating a color filter includes a substrate, a mask pattern and a mending pattern. Wherein, the mask pattern is disposed on the substrate. The mask pattern and the transferred pattern, being transferred to the color filter, are not matched and cause occurrence of a light leaking region in the color filter. The mending pattern is disposed over the substrate around the periphery of the mask pattern and corresponds to the light leaking region.

  • Publication number: 20070026564
    Abstract: A method for forming microlenses of different curvatures is described, wherein a transparent photosensitive layer is formed on a substrate having a planar upper surface. A photomask is used to pattern the photosensitive layer, wherein the photomask has at least two patterns of different transparencies thereon such that at least two islands of different thicknesses are defined from the photosensitive layer. Then, the at least two islands are heated and softened to form at least two microlenses of different curvatures.

  • Publication number: 20070008421
    Abstract: A method for forming microlenses of different curvatures is described, wherein a substrate having at least a first and a second areas different in height is provided. A transparent photosensitive layer having a planar surface is formed on the substrate and then patterned into at least two islands of different thicknesses respectively over the first area and the second area. The at least two islands are heated and softened to form at least two microlenses of different curvatures respectively over the first area and the second area, wherein the higher an area is, the smaller the curvature of the corresponding microlens is.

  • Publication number: 20050158907
    Abstract: A method of fabricating an image sensor device is disclosed. In the method, a substrate having a plurality of trenches therein is provided. A first anti-reflective layer is formed on the surfaces of the trenches. An insulating layer is filled in the trenches for forming a plurality of shallow trench isolation regions. At least one photo sensitive region is formed within the substrate between neighboring shallow trench isolation regions. A second anti-reflective layer is formed at least covering the photo sensitive region. Because the first anti-reflective layer is formed on the surfaces of the trenches, and the second anti-reflective layer is formed on the photo sensitive region, the sensitivity of the image sensor device is improved.
