It is worth noting that, in some embodiments, the metal layer being deposited directly on the surface of the first color-filter element 234 228 can be relatively thin thin film.
In step 112, as shown in Figure 2 F, patterned process is carried out to form the second metal grate 226 to metal layer 228.
In various embodiments, the second metal grate 226 covers the first color-filter element 234 and the first metal grate 216 Exterior side surfaces.
As shown in Figure 2 F, in some embodiments, the first part 226-1 of the second metal grate 226 covers the first metal The exterior side surfaces of grid 216, and the second part 226-2 of the second metal grate 226 covers the outer of the first color-filter element 234 Portion side surface.
Although first part 226-1 and second part 226-2 shown in figure are separation, this is only example. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that first part 226-1 and second part 226-2 be also possible to it is integrated.
In some embodiments, the second metal grate 226 is obtained by anisotropic selective etch.For example, In some embodiments, by designing suitable exposure mask and/or etchant, by the parallel with the surface of substrate 202 of metal layer 228 Horizontal component removal on direction, and by the vertical portion code insurance on the direction vertical with the surface of substrate 202 of metal layer 228 It stays.

According to step 110- step 112, the second metal grate 226 can be by the first color-filter element 234 and the first gold medal Belong to and form metal layer 228 on the outer surface of grid 216, and is patterned (for example, anisotropic etching) then to remove Its horizontal component and formed.That is, the second metal grate 226 can be the vertical portion of metal layer 228.Therefore, the second metal gate Shape contour, the size of lattice 226 can be related to metal layer 228 according to the first color-filter element 234, the first metal grate 216 Parameter and change.
In some embodiments, the total height of the second metal grate 226 phase approximate with the height of the first color-filter element 234 Deng.For example, the height of the first part 226-1 and second part 226-2 of the second metal grate 226 respectively with the first metal grate 216 and first color-filter element 234 exterior side surfaces height it is approximately equal.Here, " approximately equal " refers to that there may be by example Such as the small error of etching process bring.
In some embodiments, the thickness of the vertical portion with a thickness of metal layer 228 of the second metal grate 226.For example, When the thickness of the vertical portion of the metal layer 228 of formation is smaller, the thickness of the second metal grate 226 will be smaller.
Advantageously, in this application, the second more desirable metal gate can be obtained under the premise of not increasing technical difficulty The shape contour and size of lattice 226.
For example, no matter the height (that is, height of the second metal grate 226) of the first color-filter element 234 is how many, as long as will Metal layer 228 is formed as the lesser film of thickness, so that it may obtain the second relatively thin metal grate 226.In other words, the second metal The thickness of grid 226 not will receive the limitation of oneself height.Therefore, compared to the tradition shaped by direct patterned process The depth-to-width ratio of lattice structure, the second metal grate 226 of the application can be limited less by the technique of existing patterning method System.That is, the second metal grate 226 can have bigger depth-to-width ratio.
Advantageously, the second metal grate 226 with bigger depth-to-width ratio is suitable for that color-filter element is isolated simultaneously Guarantee the sufficient radiation receiving surface product of color-filter element.For example, the second metal grate 226, which can be arranged to, extends to The upper surface of one color-filter element 234.The arrangement can not only be realized to all spokes being incident in the first color-filter element 234 The certain space limitation of row is injected, to reduce crosstalk, and will not be to the surface towards radiation side of the first color-filter element 234 Product produces bigger effect, to avoid the loss of light quantity, improves sensing efficiency.
It is furthermore advantageous to which the first metal grate 216 is arranged to around the close radiation sensitive area of the first color-filter element 234 204 side.The thickness of first metal grate 216 is greater than the thickness of the second metal grate 226, more effectively can inhibit spoke The crosstalk penetrated.
Moreover, the second partial metal grate 226 is arranged in the exterior side surfaces of the first metal grate 216, so that Second metal grate 226 and the first metal grate 216 are linked to be an entirety, this is advantageously implemented the completely isolated of crosstalk.
Optionally, as shown in Figure 2 G, in some embodiments, after forming the second metal grate 226, the second filter is formed Color component 218.
In some embodiments, each second color-filter element 218 respectively in the multiple radiation sensitive area 204 at least One not corresponding with the corresponding radiation sensitive area 204 of the first color-filter element 234.
In some embodiments, the second color-filter element 218 is colored filter element.Radiation energy with frequency-specific feature It is enough to be entered in radiation sensitive area 204 corresponding with the second color-filter element 218 through the second color-filter element 218.
