Abstract
An active pixel sensor. The active pixel sensor includes a substrate, an interconnect structure adjacent to the substrate, and at least one photo sensor adjacent to the interconnect structure. Each photo sensor includes an individual pixel electrode. An I-layer is formed over all of the pixel electrodes. A transparent electrode is formed over the I-layer. An inner surface of the transparent electrode is electrically connected to the I-layer and the interconnect structure.
