Claims
- 1. A method of forming image sensors comprising:
- providing a substrate of a first conductivity type having a plurality of pixel elements formed within the substrate, such that there is at least one gate electrode within each of the pixel elements comprising indium tin oxide and at least one gate electrode within each of the pixel elements comprising polysilicon; and
- forming a plurality of overlapping color filters arranged such that overlapping of the color filters occurs above the polysilicon electrode.
- 2. The method of claim 1 further comprising the step of:
- creating at least one lenslet associated with the ITO electrode juxtapositioned to focus light incident upon the pixel such that it is focused towards the ITO electrode.
- 3. The method of claim 1 further comprising the step of creating a clock mechanism for shifting charge out of the pixel area and output means for receiving charge shifted out.
- 4. The method of claim 3 wherein the step of creating a clock mechanism for shifting further comprises having an extra pulse capable of shifting accumulated charge one phase.
- 5. The method of claim 1 wherein the step of forming further comprises creating the color filters within each pixel such that each pixel is a single color.
- 6. The method of claim 1 wherein the forming step further comprises creating the color filters within each pixel such that each pixel represents various colors.
- 7. The method of claim 1 wherein the providing step further comprises creating the pixels such that the sensor is a two phase device.
