    Abstract: A novel image sensor structure formed on a substrate of a first conductivity type includes a photosensitive device of a second conductivity type and a surface pinning layer of the first conductivity type. A trench isolation region is formed adjacent to the photosensitive device pinning layer. The structure includes a dopant region comprising material of the first conductivity type formed along a sidewall of the isolation region that is adapted to electrically couple the pinning layer to the substrate. The corresponding method facilitates an angled ion implantation of dopant material in the isolation region sidewall by first fabricating the photoresist layer and reducing its size by removing a corner, or a corner portion thereof, which may block the angled implant material. To facilitate the angled implant to the sidewall edge past resist block masks, two methods are proposed: 1) a spacer type etch of the imaged photoresist; or, 2) a corner sputter process of the imaged photoresist.

    Abstract: An improved transistor structure that decreases source/drain (S/D) resistance without increasing gate-to-S/D capacitance, thereby increasing device operation. S/D structures are formed into recesses formed on a semiconductor wafer through a semiconductor layer and a first layer of a buried insulator having at least two layers. A body is formed from the semiconductor layer situated between the recesses, and the body comprises a top body surface and a bottom body surface that define a body thickness. Top portions of the S/D structures are within and abut the body thickness. An improved method for forming the improved transistor structure is also described and comprises: forming recesses through a semiconductor layer and a first layer of a buried insulator so that a body is situated between the recesses; and forming S/D structures into the recesses so that top portions of the S/D structures are within and abut a body thickness.

    Abstract: Pixel sensor cells, e.g., CMOS optical imagers, methods of manufacturing and design structures are provided with isolation structures that prevent carrier drift to diffusion regions. The pixel sensor cell includes a photosensitive region and a gate adjacent to the photosensitive region. The pixel sensor cell further includes a diffusion region adjacent to the gate. The pixel sensor cell further includes an isolation region located below a channel region of the gate and about the photosensitive region, which prevents electrons collected in the photosensitive region to drift to the diffusion region.

    Abstract: Silicon-on-insulator (SOI) structures and related methods of forming such structures. In one case, a method includes providing a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) handle substrate having: a substantially uniform resistivity profile along a depth of the handle substrate; and an interstitial oxygen (Oi) concentration of less than approximately 10 parts per million atoms (ppma). The method further includes counter-doping a surface region of the handle, causing the surface region to have a resistivity greater than approximately 3 kOhm-cm, and joining the surface region of the handle substrate with a donor wafer.
