ABSTRACT:
A method of manufacturing an image sensor using a microlens mold is provided. The method includes: forming an interlayer dielectric layer on a semiconductor substrate having photodiodes; forming color filter layers on the interlayer dielectric layer; forming a planarization layer on the color filter layers; coating photoresist on the planarization layer; aligning a mold having a lens shaped pattern on the semiconductor substrate with the photoresist applied thereon; pressing the mold and the semiconductor substrate closely to each other such that a pattern formed in the mold is transferred onto the photoresist; and separating the mold from the semiconductor substrate, thereby forming micro-lenses.
