Image sensor and method of manufacturing the same
An image sensor includes a substrate that further includes a sensor array and a heat spreading layer on a surface of the substrate. The heat spreading layer may include one or more of a synthetic diamond layer, a graphene layer, or a diamond-like carbon (DLC) layer. The heat spreading layer enables substantially uniform distribution of heat through at least a portion of the sensor array. Such substantially uniform heat distribution may enable substantially uniform dark current in the portion of the sensor array, thereby reducing a probability of dark shading in the portion of the sensor array. The portion of the sensor array may include an active pixel sensor area. The portion of the sensor array may include an optical black sensor area.
