PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a bigger fill factor, and a smaller spatial spread in the photosensitized region of a photodetector. SOLUTION: A pixel includes a surface configured to receive incident light and a floor formed by a semiconductor substrate. The photodetector is disposed inside the bottom face. A dielectric structure is disposed between the surface and the floor. The volume of the dielectric structure, between the surface and the photodetector, provides an optical path configured to transmit a portion of the incident light upon the surface to the photodetector. An embedded optical element is disposed, at least partially within the optical path and is configured to partially demarcate the optical path. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
