Method and apparatus for backside illumination sensor

Abstract

A semiconductor device includes a device substrate having a dielectric layer and a metal wire in the dielectric layer, a first opening on the metal wire and having a bottom at a depth the same as an upper surface of the metal wire, a first insulation layer including a first color filter material on sidewalls of the first opening, a second opening disposed at opposite ends of the semiconductor device and having a bottom at a depth the same as the depth of the bottom of the first opening, and a second insulation layer including a second color filter material on sidewalls of the second opening. The first opening is for leading out the metal wire to a pad. The second opening is disposed along scribe lines. The semiconductor device simplifies the process of drawing out and isolating the pads and satisfies technical requirements of a back seal ring.
