    摘要: Embodiments of the invention relate to dual shallow trench isolations (STI). In various embodiments related to CMOS Image Sensor (CIS) technologies, the dual STI refers to one STI structure in the pixel region and another STI structure in the periphery or logic region. The depth of each STI structure depends on the need and/or isolation tolerance of devices in each region. In an embodiment, the pixel region uses NMOS devices and the STI in this region is shallower than that of in the periphery region that includes both NMOS and PMOS device having different P- and N-wells and that desire more protective isolation (i.e., deeper STI). Depending on implementations, different numbers of masks (e.g., two, three) are used to generate the dual STI, and are disclosed in various method embodiments.

    摘要: A system and method for fabricating a 3D image sensor structure is disclosed. The method comprises providing an image sensor with a backside illuminated photosensitive region on a substrate, applying a first dielectric layer to the first side of the substrate opposite the substrate side where image data is gathered, and applying a semiconductor layer that is optionally polysilicon, to the first dielectric layer. A least one control transistor may be created on the first dielectric layer, within the semiconductor layer and may optionally be a row select, reset or source follower transistor. An intermetal dielectric may be applied over the first dielectric layer; and may have at least one metal interconnect disposed therein. A second interlevel dielectric layer may be disposed on the control transistors. The dielectric layers and semiconductor layer may be applied by bonding a wafer to the substrate or via deposition.
