Abstract

A method includes performing a grinding on a backside of a semiconductor substrate. An image sensor is disposed on a front side of the semiconductor substrate. An impurity is doped into a surface layer of the backside of the semiconductor substrate to form a doped layer. A multi-cycle laser anneal is performed on the doped layer.
