A new method to form an image sensor device is achieved. The method comprises forming an image sensing array in a substrate comprising a plurality of light detecting diodes with spaces between the diodes. A first dielectric layer is formed overlying the diodes but not the spaces. The first dielectric layer has a first refractive index. A second dielectric layer is formed overlying the spaces but not the diodes. The second dielectric layer has a second refractive index that is larger than the first refractive index. A new image sensor device is disclosed.
