摘要:
A charge-coupled device comprises transfer gate electrodes separated from a substrate by a multilayer insulating film, and gate electrodes of MIS transistors separated from the substrate by a single layer insulating film. The multilayer insulating film comprising at least a lower silicon oxide layer of 10 nm to 200 nm thickness and an upper silicon nitride layer of 10 nm to 100 nm thickness. Since each of the gate insulating films of the MIS transistors is the same layer as the lower silicon oxide layer, there occurs no degradation in the transistor characteristics due to the surface states or the trapping states present within the silicon nitride layer.

摘要:
Photoelectric converting parts and vertical CCD register parts are formed in a semiconductor substrate. Polysilicon electrodes are formed on the vertical CCD register parts. On the polysilicon electrodes, polysilicon oxide film and dielectric film are deposited. On the polysilicon electrodes, contact windows are formed by mask matching and etching. The contact windows are formed in the first polysilicon electrode and second polysilicon electrode so as to realize four-phase drive of the solid-state image pickup device. Polysilicon film and tungsten silicide film are formed thereon. By etching these films, a first wiring is formed. A second wiring of aluminum film is formed thereon through an interlayer dielectric film. Hence, a high transfer efficiency and a favorable smear noise characteristic are presented at low illumination.

A p type well is formed on a silicon substrate. An n.sup.- type region forming a photo diode is formed in the p type well. A p type region is also formed in the p type well. The p type region is used for surrounding the n type region which becomes a vertical CCD register part. Generally, such a structure is called a Hi-C structure. A P.sup.+ type region for controlling the potential height when transferring is formed between the photo diode and the vertical CCD register part. A P.sup.+ type region is formed for electrical separation. A P.sup.++ type region is formed on the surface of a silicon substrate of the photo diode. On the silicon substrate, a gate oxide film is grown. A silicon nitride film is grown in a specified region on the gate oxide film. On the silicon nitride film, a polysilicon electrode which is a conductive electrode, acting as a driving electrode, is formed. On the surface of the polysilicon electrode, a polysilicon oxide film is grown by thermal oxidation. A silicon nitride film as a nitride insulation film is formed on the surface of the polysilicon oxide film. A top oxide film formed by thermally oxidizing the silicon nitride film is formed on the surface of the silicon nitride film. A refractory metal light-shield film is formed on the surface of the top oxide film. When a Poole-Frenkel current flows through a trap in the silicon nitride film, the oxide films formed above and beneath the silicon nitride film function as a barrier to prevent leakage current from flowing.
