IMAGE SENSOR

摘要

PURPOSE: An image sensor is provided to increase optical absorption efficiency by using a metal particle layer formed between a transparent electrode and a carrier transport layer. CONSTITUTION: A photoelectric conversion layer(110) is formed between a lower part and an upper carrier transport layers. A common electrode(130) is arranged on the upper carrier transport layer. The photoelectric conversion layer includes a silicon nitride layer. A silicon nitride layer contains Si nanocrystals. A metal particle layer(200) is formed between the upper carrier transport layer and the common electrode.
