Abstract
An image sensor structure includes a semiconductor substrate; an interconnection layer on the semiconductor substrate; nano-pillar structures, each including a first doped layer, a second doped layer and a third doped layer stacked in sequence; conductive structures, respectively electrically connected to the first doped layer and the interconnection layer, the second doped layer and the interconnection layer, and the third doped layer and the interconnection layer; a first insulating layer on the interconnection layer and wrapping the nano-pillar structures and the conductive structures, wherein the first doping layer is exposed on the first insulating layer; a transparent barrier layer on the first insulating layer; and a photoelectric thin film structure on the first insulating layer and electrically connected to the interconnection layer. The photoelectric thin film structure includes photoconductive film portions. The image sensor structure has a good isolation effect between adjacent pixels and effectively avoids optical crosstalk.
