Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a carrier substrate, a first color filter, a first photodetector, and a light enhancement structure. The first photodetector is disposed between the carrier substrate and the first color filter. The light enhancement structure is disposed between the first color filter and the carrier substrate and adjacent to the first photodetector for enhancing intensity of light incident the first photodetector.
