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 9):
An image sensor, comprising:\n a photodiode comprised at least partially within a semiconductor layer; a light absorber layer coupled with the photodiode, the light absorber layer configured to absorb incident light within predetermined wavelengths to substantially prevent the predetermined wavelengths of incident light from passing from the light absorber layer to the photodiode; and at least one dielectric layer directly coupled with the semiconductor layer; wherein the light absorber layer is configured to heat a region of the semiconductor layer.
