Visible Wavelength Color Filters using Dielectric Subwavelength Gratings for Backside-illuminated CMOS Image Sensor Technologies
Chicago
Abstract
We report transmissive color filters based on subwavelength dielectric gratings that can replace conventional dye-based color filters used in backside-illuminated CMOS image sensor (BSI CIS) technologies. The filters are patterned in an 80-nm-thick poly-silicon film on a 115-nm-thick SiO_2 spacer layer. They are optimized for operating at the primary RGB colors, exhibit peak transmittance of 60-80%, and an almost insensitive response over a ±20° angular range. This technology enables shrinking of the pixel sizes down to near a micrometer.
