A p-type well is formed on a surface of a p-type silicon substrate. A silicon germanium layer having a dielectric constant higher than that of the p-type silicon substrate is formed to have a thickness of 30 nm or less on the p-type well. Then, on the silicon germanium layer, a germanium layer having a dielectric constant higher than that of the silicon germanium layer is formed to have a thickness of 3-40 nm by epitaxial growing. The germanium layer is permitted to be a channel region; and a gate insulating film, a gate electrode, a side wall insulating film, an n-type impurity diffusion region and a silicide layer are formed.

    摘要: There is provided a charge transfer device including (a) a charge transfer channel for transferring signal charges therethrough, (b) a floating diffusion region for accumulating therein charges transferred from the charge transfer channel, (c) a field effect transistor for resetting the floating diffusion region so that the floating diffusion region is at a predetermined potential and (d) a bias charge input section through which a bias charge is supplied and which is connected to either the charge transfer channel or the floating diffusion region. The field effect transistor includes a reset gate electrode and a reset drain. The charge transfer channel located below the reset gate electrode is designed to receive either a potential lower than a potential of the reset drain when the floating diffusion region is reset in the case that charges to be transferred are electrons, or a potential higher than a potential of the reset drain when the floating diffusion region is reset in the case that charges to be transferred are holes. The above-mentioned charge transfer device ensures to reset the floating diffusion region regardless of whether a potential in the reset drain is greater or smaller than a potential in a channel located below the reset gate electrode.

    摘要: Disclosed is a photoelectric conversion device in which a photodiode capacitance is increased. A transparent electrode is formed between a reflecting plate and a photodiode constituting a unitary picture element of a CCD image sensor. It is so formed that light is incident from the rear surface and the loop of the standing wave of the light comes on a platinum silicide film, thereby achieving the effective absorption of the incident light. The transparent electrode is formed between the reflecting plate and the photodiode in opposition to the platinum silicide film. The capacitance between the transparent electrode and the platinum silicide film can be utilized as photodiode capacitance. Optically optimum thickness is assured by individually forming the reflecting plate which optimizes optical properties represented by the absorption of the incident light, and the transparent electrode used for increasing the photodiode capacitance, and also applying a pulse voltage to the transparent electrode at a given timing in such a manner that the potential at the time of resetting of the photodiode potential is lower than that obtained when the charge is accumulated.

    摘要: The lattice mismatching between a Ge layer and a Si layer is as large as about 4%. Thus, when the Ge layer is grown on the Si layer, penetration dislocation is introduced to cause leakage current at the p-i-n junction. Thereby, the photo-detection sensitivity is reduced, and the reliability of the element is also lowered. Further, in the connection with a Si waveguide, there are also problems of the reflection loss due to the difference in refractive index between Si and Ge, and of the absorption loss caused by a metal electrode. In order to solve said problems, according to the present invention, there is provided a vertical type pin-SiGe photodiode having a structure which is embedded in a groove formed in a part of a Si layer, in which a p-type or n-type doped layer is formed in a lower section of the groove, and in which a i-SiGe layer having a rectangular shape or a reverse tapered shape is formed on a layered structure formed by laminating a i-Si layer and a SiGe buffer layer on the lower section and the side wall of the groove. Further, in an optical connection section with a Si waveguide, impedance matching is effected by the layered structure composed of the i-Si layer and the SiGe buffer layer, and an upper metal layer is separated therefrom so that a poly-Si bridge structure is employed to electrically connect the upper metal layer therewith.
