Abstract
This invention relates to a method for fabricating a color solid-state image sensor which comprises, the steps of: forming an inorganic passivation layer over an array of photosensing elements and their associate bonding patterns; providing a color filter array over the passivation layer; forming a photoresist layer over the color filter array and other exposed areas; forming a pattern in the photoresist such that portions over the bonding pad areas are opened; and removing selective regions of the passivation layer to expose the bonding pads.
