<p>A solid state image sensor array (300; 500; 900) for correcting curvilinear distortion and method for fabricating the image sensor array utilizes straight line segments (606, 608) that approximate the curvature of the curvilinear distortion to define structures of the image sensor array. The use of these straight line segments results in photosensitive elements (302; 502; 902A, 902B, 902C, 902D) that are distributed in a non-uniform pattem to compensate for the curvilinear distortion, which may be barrel or pincushion distortion. In addition, the use of straight line segments increases the efficiency of the photosensitive elements by maximizing the surface area of the photosensitive elements. Furthermore, since the structures of the image sensor array are defined by the straight line segments, the design of the image sensor array is suitable for conventional high volume fabrication process. <IMAGE></p> |
