Abstract
A photon collector has a reflecting metal layer to increase photon collection efficiency in a solid state imaging sensor. The reflecting metal layer reflects incident light internally to a photosensor. A plurality of photon collectors is formed in a wafer substrate over an array of photosensors. The photon collector is formed in an opening in an insulating layer provided over each photosensor.
