  • Publication number: 20130122691
    Abstract: A method for forming a semiconductor structure is provided. First, multiple recesses are formed in a substrate. Second, a precursor mixture is provided to form a non-doped epitaxial layer on the inner surface of the recesses. The precursor mixture includes a silicon precursor, an epitaxial material precursor and a hydrogen-halogen compound. The flow rate ratio of the silicon precursor to the epitaxial material precursor is greater than 1.7. Later, a doped epitaxial layer including Si, the epitaxial material and the dopant is formed and substantially fills up the recess.

  • Publication number: 20130040416
    Abstract: A method for making the image sensor structure, for avoiding or mitigating lens shading effect. The image sensor structure includes a substrate, a sensor array disposed at the surface of the substrate, a dielectric layer covering the sensor array, wherein the dielectric layer includes a top surface having a dishing structure, an under layer filled into the dishing structure and having a refraction index greater than that of the dielectric layer, a filter array disposed on the under layer corresponding to the sensor array, and a microlens array disposed above the filter array. A top layer may be additionally disposed to cover the filter array and the microlens array is disposed on the top layer.
