Abstract

An image sensor arrangement includes a first sensor layer having a first group of pixels. Each pixel of the first group includes a photodiode configured to detect electromagnetic radiation in a first wavelength range. The image sensor arrangement also includes a second sensor layer having a second group of pixels. Each pixel of the second group includes a photodiode configured to detect electromagnetic radiation in a second wavelength range. The image sensory arrangement further includes a readout layer having a readout circuit configured to read out electrical signals from the pixels of the first and the second group. The second sensor layer is arranged between the first sensor layer and the readout layer. The second wavelength range is outside a wavelength range detectable by the first sensor layer. The first sensor layer is attached to the second sensor layer by hybrid bonding.
