Abstract:
An image sensor comprises: a plurality of pixel units, wherein the pixel unit comprises: a photodiode; an optical portion for optically processing light incident to the pixel unit, wherein the optical portion is located above the photodiode and overlaps with the photodiode in a plan view parallel to a main surface of the image sensor; and a gap for preventing light incident to the pixel unit from entering other pixel units, wherein the gap is located around the optical portion in the plan view.

Claim (Index 11):
A method for manufacturing the image sensor according to  claim 1 , the method comprising:\n forming an optical layer above a semiconductor substrate in which the photodiode is formed, wherein the optical layer optically processes light incident to the image sensor; and patterning the optical layer so as to form the gap in the optical layer, wherein the gap extends in a direction perpendicular to the main surface of the image sensor and overlaps with an electrical isolation region around the photodiode in the plan view parallel to the main surface, wherein the electrical isolation region is used for preventing charge carriers in the pixel unit from entering other pixel units, wherein, the optical layer patterned forms the optical portion which overlaps with the photodiode in the plan view; and the gap prevents light incident to the pixel unit from entering other pixel units.
