Image sensor with dual trench isolation structures at different isolation structure depths
An image sensor includes a plurality of photodiodes disposed in a semiconductor material to convert image light into image charge. A floating diffusion is disposed proximate to the plurality of photodiodes to receive the image charge from the plurality of photodiodes. A plurality of transfer transistors is coupled to transfer the image charge from the plurality of photodiodes into the floating diffusion in response to a voltage applied to the gate terminal of the plurality of transfer transistors. A first trench isolation structure extends from a frontside of the semiconductor material into the semiconductor material and surrounds the plurality of photodiodes. A second trench isolation structure extends from a backside of the semiconductor material into the semiconductor material. The second trench isolation structure is disposed between individual photodiodes in the plurality of photodiodes.
