Patent ID: 7612318

Claim:
A CMOS image sensor, comprising: a semiconductor substrate; device isolation regions provided on the semiconductor substrate for defining device regions therebetween; photocharge generating portions provided on the device regions for receiving external light and for generating and storing electric charges, wherein the photocharge generating portions are enclosed by the device isolation regions; light concentrating portions provided over the photocharge generating portions for concentrating the external light onto corresponding photocharge generating portions; first non-transparent organic material cross talk preventing portions for preventing the light passing through the light concentrating portions from being incident onto adjacent photocharge generating portions, wherein the first cross talk preventing portions consist of reflecting layers of a deposited conductive non-transparent organic material and are immediately adjacent to the device isolation regions; a first insulating layer covering the first cross talk preventing portions; a plurality of color filters, conductive wires, and second insulating layers provided under the light concentrating portions; and second non-transparent organic material cross talk preventing portions formed on one of the second insulating layers.
