What I think would be an interesting version would be a chip with four layers with the bottom one being a very thick capturing mainly IR. It could be made perform quite a bit better in IR than current conventional cameras even when IR converted (as the photodiodes don't go deep enough to the silicon).

Yes, that might perhaps even improve the differentiation of 3 primary colors, wouldn't it?

Not if the layer depths remain unchanged, as they have been since the very beginning ...

Could not stop myself.... Would not be surprised if they are working on backlit sensor should  improve separation and noise for that reason . But i suspect it is an order of magnitude harder to do than conventional design plus patents and such. It still mind bogling what kind of precision  manufacturing of sensirs and chips in general demands...
