ABSTRACT:
A method of manufacturing image sensors where (a) a first conductive film of a transparent material is formed over and in contact with a transparent substrate; (b) a photosensitive semiconductor film is formed over and in contact with the film; (c) the first conductive film and the semiconductor film are patterned by laser scribing; (d) a first insulating film is formed over the above films and in contact with the first conductive film and the semiconductor film and portions thereof are removed which are not necessary to define the image sensors in the patterned semiconductor film; (e) a second conductive film is formed over the semiconductor film and the remaining portions of the first insulating film in order to make contact with the semiconductor film; (f) the second conductive film is patterned; (g) a second insulating film is formed over and in contact with the second conductive film; (h) the second insulating film is patterned; and (i) an electrode arrangement is formed for withdrawing electrical signals from the second conductive film through the patterned second insulating film, wherein the patternings of the first conductive film, the second conductive film, and the second insulating film are primarily performed by laser scribing to reduce the fabrication cost of the image sensors.
