    摘要: System and method for processing a semiconductor device surface to reduce dark current and white pixel anomalies. An embodiment comprises a method applied to a semiconductor or photodiode device surface adjacent to a photosensitive region, and opposite a side having circuit structures for the device. A doped layer may optionally be created at a depth of less than about 10 nanometers below the surface of the substrate and may be doped with a boron concentration between about 1E13 and 1E16. An oxide may be created on the substrate using a temperature sufficient to reduce the surface roughness below a predetermined roughness threshold, and optionally at a temperature between about 300° C. and 500° C. and a thickness between about 1 nanometer and about 10 nanometers. A dielectric may then be created on the oxide, the dielectric having a refractive index greater than a predetermined refractive threshold, optionally at least about 2.0.

    摘要: A substrate section that is at least partially fabricated to include contact elements and materials. The substrate section includes doped regions that have a heavily doped N-type region and a heavily doped P-type region adjacent to one another. An exterior surface of the substrate has a topography that includes a light-transparent region in which light, from a light source, is able to reach a surface of the substrate. An application of light onto the light transparent region is sufficient to cause a voltage potential to form across a junction of the heavily doped regions. The substrate section may further comprise one or more electrical contacts, positioned on the substrate section to conduct current, resulting from the voltage potential created with application of light onto the light transparent region, to a circuit on the semiconductor substrate.
