Abstract

A method of forming a solid-state image sensor is provided. The method includes the steps of forming a plurality of photosensor elements on a substrate; forming a plurality of color filters on the plurality of photosensors; forming a light blocking member between adjacent color filters; and forming a plurality of microlenses on the plurality of color filters. Each photosensor with each corresponding color filter and microlens is used for receiving an incident light of specific spectrum.

Claims (10)

1. A method of forming a solid-state image sensor, comprising the steps of:

forming a plurality of photosensor elements on a substrate;

forming a plurality of color filters on the plurality of photosensors;

forming a light blocking member between adjacent color filters; and

forming a plurality of microlenses on the plurality of color filters;

wherein each photosensor corresponds to each color filter and each microlens, for receiving an incident light of specific spectrum.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the light blocking member comprises a light-impervious film made of metal or chemical compound.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the image sensor is a charge-coupled device (CCD).

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the image sensor is a CMOS sensor.

5. A solid-state image sensor which is produced according to the method of claim 1 .
