Abstract
An image sensor includes a substrate having a plurality of pixel regions, a lower layer on the substrate; a plurality of color filters on the lower layer, and a micro-lens layer on or covering top surfaces of the color filters. The micro-lens layer extends to a location between two of the color filters and contacts the lower layer on one of the pixel regions. The color filters are spaced apart from the lower layer.
Claims1
An image sensor, comprising:
- a substrate comprising a plurality of pixel regions;
- a lower layer on the substrate;
- a plurality of color filters on the lower layer, the plurality of color filters including a first color filter and a second color filter;
- a first adhesive pattern between the lower layer and the first color filter;
- a second adhesive pattern between the lower layer and the second color filter;
- and
- a micro-lens layer on top surfaces of the color filters,
- wherein the micro-lens layer extends between the first color filter and the second color filter, and between the first adhesive pattern and the second adhesive pattern, the micro-lens layer contacting the lower layer on one of the pixel regions,
- wherein the second adhesive pattern is spaced apart from the first adhesive pattern, and
- wherein the color filters are spaced apart from the lower layer.
