Abstract
A device includes a plurality of photodiode regions within a semiconductor substrate, a plurality of transistors, a plurality of deep trench isolation (DTI) structures, and a plurality of isolation structures. The transistors are over a front-side surface of the semiconductor substrate. The DTI structures extend a first depth from a backside surface of the semiconductor substrate into the semiconductor substrate. The isolation structures extend a second depth from the backside surface of the semiconductor substrate into the semiconductor substrate. The second depth is less than the first depth. From a plan view, each of the plurality of isolation structures has a triangular profile at the backside surface of the semiconductor substrate.
