ABSTRACT:
An image sensor has a core structure with a convex surface, such as a sphere or a tube. The image sensor also has an interconnect layer that is adhered to the convex surface of the core structure, and a photo-sensing layer that is connected to the interconnect layer. The photo-sensing layer collects photo-information, while the interconnect layer provides an electrical interface between the photo-sensing layer and the outside world.
