    Abstract: An interconnect layout, an image sensor including the interconnect layout and a method for fabricating the image sensor each use a first electrically active physical interconnect layout pattern within an active pixel region and a second electrically active physical interconnect layout pattern spatially different than the first electrically active physical interconnect layout pattern within a dark pixel region. The second electrically active physical interconnect layout pattern includes at least one electrically active interconnect layer interposed between a light shield layer and a photosensor region aligned therebeneath, thus generally providing a higher wiring density. The higher wiring density within the second layout pattern provides that that the image sensor may be fabricated with enhanced manufacturing efficiency and a reduction of metallization levels.

    Abstract: A novel pixel 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. An isolation structure is formed adjacent to the photosensitive device pinning layer. The isolation structure includes a dopant region comprising material of the first conductivity type selectively formed along a sidewall of the isolation structure that is adapted to electrically couple the surface pinning layer to the underlying substrate. The corresponding method for forming the dopant region selectively formed along the sidewall of the isolation structure comprises an out-diffusion process whereby dopant materials present in a doped material layer formed along selected portions in the isolation structure are driven into the underlying substrate during an anneal. Alternately, or in conjunction, an angled ion implantation of dopant material in the isolation structure sidewall may be performed by first fabricating a photoresist layer and reducing its size by removing a corner, or a corner portion thereof, which may block the angled implant material.

    Abstract: A method implants impurities into well regions of transistors. The method prepares a first mask over a substrate and performs a first shallow well implant through the first mask to implant first-type impurities to a first depth of the substrate. The first mask is removed and a second mask is prepared over the substrate. The method performs a second shallow well implant through the second mask to implant second-type impurities to the first depth of the substrate and then removes the second mask. A third mask is prepared over the substrate. The third mask has openings smaller than openings in the first mask and the second mask. A first deep well implant is performed through the third mask to implant the first-type impurities to a second depth of the substrate, the second depth of the substrate being greater than the first depth of the substrate. The third mask is removed and a fourth mask is prepared over the substrate, the fourth mask has openings smaller than the openings in the first mask and the second mask. Then, a second deep well implant is performed through the fourth mask to implant the second-type impurities to the second depth of the substrate.
