Abstract:
The present disclosure, in some embodiments, relates to a CMOS image sensor. The CMOS image sensor has an image sensing element disposed within a substrate. A plurality of isolation structures are arranged along a back-side of the substrate and are separated from opposing sides of the image sensing element by non-zero distances. A doped region is laterally arranged between the plurality of isolation structures. The doped region is also vertically arranged between the image sensing element and the back-side of the substrate. The doped region physically contacts the image sensing element.

Claim (Index 16):
An image sensor, comprising:\n a semiconductor substrate having sidewalls and horizontally extending surfaces defining a plurality of trenches; an image sensing element arranged within the semiconductor substrate between the plurality of trenches, wherein the image sensing element is separated from an adjacent image sensing element by a non-zero space along a line that is between the plurality of trenches and a front-side of the semiconductor substrate; a dielectric material arranged within the trenches and along a back-side of the semiconductor substrate; and a doped region between the image sensing element and the dielectric material that is along the back-side of the semiconductor substrate, wherein the trenches extend completely through the doped region.
