Claim 7:
8. A device comprising:
a first image sensor element having a first photosensitive region and a first surface that includes a first dielectric portion;
a second image sensor element having a second photosensitive region and a second surface that includes a second dielectric portion;
an interconnect structure disposed on a substrate between the first and second image sensor elements, the interconnect structure including a third surface that includes a third dielectric portion and the substrate having a fourth surface that includes a fourth dielectric portion, the third dielectric portion directly interfacing with the first dielectric portion and the fourth dielectric portion directly interfacing with the second dielectric portion; and
a first conductive feature extending from one of the first and second photodiode regions to the interconnect structure.
