Abstract
In-pixel separation structures may divide photodiodes of a pixel array into multiple regions. As a result, a lens of an image sensor device may be focused by using combining signals associated with different portions of the photodiodes. As a result, the lens may be focused faster and with fewer pixels of the pixel array, which conserves power, processing resources, and raw materials.
