Abstract
A method for forming a semiconductor device is provided. The method includes forming a sensor pixel array in a substrate, forming several transparent pillars over the substrate, and forming a light shielding layer over the substrate to cover the transparent pillars. The sensor pixel array has several sensor pixels, and each of the transparent pillars is correspondingly disposed on one of the sensor pixels of the sensor pixel array. The light shielding layer is a multi-layer structure. The method further includes performing a planarization process to expose the top surface of the transparent pillars.
