Abstract
An image sensor includes a substrate, a grid isolation structure, and a color filter. The substrate has a light-sensitive element therein. The grid isolation structure is above the substrate and includes a reflective layer, a first dielectric layer above the reflective layer, and a second dielectric layer above the first dielectric layer. The color filter is above the light-sensitive element and is surrounded by the grid isolation structure.
