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.
