Abstract :
Stacked grid structure is implemented into back-side illumination (BSI) image sensors and device performance for various grid design including dimension and height has been investigated. Simulated angular response shows less quantum efficiency (QE) degradation in large incident angle and SNR-10 has a ~10% improvement for devices with stacked grid structure.
