Abstract:
An image sensor including a semiconductor layer. A light absorber layer couples with the semiconductor layer at a pixel of the image sensor and absorbs incident light to substantially prevent the incident light from entering the semiconductor layer. The light absorber layer heats a depletion region of the semiconductor layer in response to absorbing the incident light, creating electron/hole pairs. The light absorber layer may include one or more narrow bandgap materials.

Claim (Index 14):
The image sensor of  claim 13 , further comprising:\n a microlens, the light absorber layer coupled between the microlens and the semiconductor layer, the microlens configured to refract the incident light towards the light absorber layer; and a guide coupled between the microlens and the light absorber layer and configured to convey the refracted light to the light absorber layer.
