Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure include an image sensor device and methods of forming the same. An embodiment is an image sensor device including a first plurality of pickup regions in a photosensor array area of a substrate, each of first plurality of pickup regions having a first width and a first length, a second plurality of pickup regions in a periphery area of the substrate, the periphery area along at least one side of the photosensor array area, each of second plurality of pickup regions having a second width and a second length.

Claim (Index 18):
An image sensor structure comprising:\n a first plurality of doped pickup regions in a photosensor array area of a substrate, the substrate comprising silicon, the first plurality of doped pickup regions being in a top surface of the substrate, each of the first plurality of doped pickup regions being a body contact of a corresponding photosensor in the photosensor array area, and each of the first plurality of doped pickup regions being separated from a nearest adjacent doped pickup region of the first plurality of doped pickup regions by a first spacing; and a second plurality of doped pickup regions in a periphery area of the substrate, the periphery area along at least two sides of the photosensor array area, the periphery area of the substrate extending from an outer edge of the photosensor array area to an outermost edge of the substrate, the second plurality of doped pickup regions being in the top surface of the substrate, each of the second plurality of doped pickup regions being separated from a nearest adjacent doped pickup region of the second plurality of doped pickup regions by a second spacing, the second spacing being smaller than the first spacing, wherein the periphery area does not include any photosensor devices, wherein each of the first plurality of doped pickup regions and each of second plurality of doped pickup regions comprise phosphorus, arsenic, boron, indium, gallium, or a combination thereof, and wherein each of the first plurality of doped pickup regions and each of second plurality of doped pickup regions are substantially circular in a plane parallel to a top surface of the substrate.
