Image sensor device and method of forming same
An image sensor device includes a pixel array, a control circuit, an interconnect structure, and a conductive layer. The pixel array is disposed on a device substrate within a pixel region. The control circuit disposed on the device substrate within a circuit region, the control circuit being adjacent and electrically coupled to the pixel array. The interconnect structure overlies and electrically connects the control circuit and the pixel array. The interconnect structure includes interconnect metal layers separated from each other by inter-metal dielectric layers and vias that electrically connect between metal traces of the interconnect layers. The conductive layer disposed over the interconnect structure and electrically connected to the interconnect structure by an upper via disposed through an upper inter-metal dielectric layer therebetween. The conductive layer extends laterally within outermost edges of the interconnect structure and within the pixel region and the circuit region.
