Abstract

The invention relates to an image sensor and method for reducing image defects. A photoconversion area is formed in a semiconductor layer. An insulating layer formed over the semiconductor layer contains a metal element. A lens over the insulting layer is positioned opposite the photoconversion area to focus light on it. A layer of light-absorbing material is deposited on the side of the metal element facing the lens to prevent reflection of parasitic light rays within the image device.
