Image sensor e.g. complementary metal-oxide semiconductor image sensor comprises several metal layers and pixels arranged in array having perpendicular axes extending from optical center

摘要

The image sensor comprises a substrate, several metal layers, and several pixels (32) arranged in a array having a pair of perpendicular axes extending from an optical center. Each pixel has a sense element and metal interconnect segment in the metal layer and the spacing between the sense element of consecutive pairs of the line of pixel extending perpendicular to a peripheral edge of the array is equal and greater by a incremental amount of interconnect segment. An independent claim is included for method of configuring image sensor.
