Color filter and micro lens for image sensors
On-chip color filters (color fiilter arrays and micro-lens array) are essential for colorizing image input devices such as CMOS image sensors and small display devices such as OLEDoS, and are used in a wide range of applications including cameras for smartphone, automotive, security, and medical applications, as well as head mounted displays.
Color filter of red, green and blue (RGB) as the primary colors of light or cyan, magenta, yellow and green (CMYG) as the complimentary colors is directly formed on each of the phototransistors generated on a silicon wafer.
In addition, the micro-lens array (MLA) is formed on CFA in order to enhance light gathering power of the image sensor and to improve sensitivity.
