ABSTRACT:
An image sensor device includes a semiconductor substrate having a front surface and a back surface, pixels formed on the front surface of the semiconductor substrate, and grid arrays aligned with one of the pixels. One of the grid arrays is configured to allow a wavelength of light to pass through to the corresponding one of the pixels. The grid arrays are disposed overlying the front or back surface of the semiconductor substrate.
