Abstract
An image sensor is described. The image sensor comprises a plurality of pixels arranged to form an active pixel array, a plurality of contact pads disposed within a peripheral region of the image sensor that surrounds the active pixel array, and an optical structure disposed within the peripheral region between the plurality of contact pads and the active pixel array. The optical structure is adapted to mitigate stray light from reaching the active pixel array.
