Abstract
An image sensor. The image sensor array includes a substrate. An interconnect structure is formed adjacent to the substrate. A plurality of image sensors are formed adjacent to the interconnect structure. Each image sensor includes a pixel electrode, and a separate I-layer section formed adjacent to the pixel electrode. The image sensor array further includes an insulating material between each image sensor. A transparent electrode is formed over the image sensors. An inner surface of the transparent electrode is electrically connected to an outer surface of the image sensors and the interconnect.
