Abstract
A multi-color photo sensor having a first photodiode with a first p-type layer and a first n-type layer, the first photodiode generates charge when illuminated with photons of a first wavelength range, a second photodiode with a second p-type layer and a second n-type layer, the second photodiode generates charge when illuminated with photons of a second wavelength range, and a readout integrated circuit electrically coupled to the first n-type layer of the first photodiode via a first metal interconnect and electrically coupled to the second n-type layer of the second photodiode via a second metal interconnect, the second metal interconnect traverses through the first photodiode to contact the second n-type layer of the second photodiode, the second metal interconnect is separated from the first photodiode by a first passivating insulator.
