An image sensor device and fabrication method thereof. An image sensing array
is formed in a substrate, wherein the image sensing array comprises a plurality
of photosensors with spaces therebetween. A first dielectric layer with a first
refractive index is formed overlying the spaces but not the photosensors. A conformal
second dielectric layer with a second refractive index is formed on a sidewall
of the first dielectric layer. A third dielectric layer with a third refractive
index is formed overlying the photosensors but not the spaces. The third refractive
index is greater than the second refractive index. A light guide constructed by
the second and third dielectric layers is formed overlying each photosensor, thereby
preventing incident light from striking other photosensors.
