Abstract:
The invention relates to an image sensor and method for reducing image defects. A photoconversion area is formed in a semiconductor layer. An insulating layer formed over the semiconductor layer contains a metal element. A lens over the insulting layer is positioned opposite the photoconversion area to focus light on it. A layer of light-absorbing material is deposited on the side of the metal element facing the lens to prevent reflection of parasitic light rays within the image device.

Claim (Index 1):
An image sensor, comprising:\n a photoconversion area formed in a semiconductor layer; a lens adjacent the photoconversion area, wherein the lens is located to focus light onto the photoconversion area; an insulating layer between the photoconversion area and lens; a metal element located within the insulating layer; and a layer of light-absorbing material on a side of the metal element facing the lens.
