    摘要: A novel CMOS image sensor cell structure and method of manufacture. The imaging sensor comprises a substrate having an upper surface, a gate comprising a dielectric layer formed on the substrate and a gate conductor formed on the gate dielectric layer, a collection well layer of a first conductivity type formed below a surface of the substrate adjacent a first side of the gate conductor, a pinning layer of a second conductivity type formed atop the collection well at the substrate surface, and a diffusion region of a first conductivity type formed adjacent a second side of the gate conductor, the gate conductor forming a channel region between the collection well layer and the diffusion region. A portion of the bottom of the gate conductor is recessed below the surface of the substrate. Preferably, a portion of the gate conductor is recessed at or below a bottom surface of the pinning layer to a depth such that the collection well intersects the channel region thereby eliminating any potential barrier interference caused by the pinning layer.

    摘要: A test structure (200, 200′) having an array (224) of test devices (220) for detecting and studying defects that can occur in an integrated circuit device, e.g., a transistor (144), due to the relative positioning of one component (100) of the device with respect to another component (108) of the device. The test devices in the array are of a like kind, but vary in their configuration. The differences in the configurations are predetermined and selected with the intent of forcing defects to occur within at least some of the test devices. During testing, the responses of the test devices are sensed so as to determine whether or not a defect has occurred in any one or more of the test devices. If a defective test device is detected, the corresponding wafer (204) may be subjected to physical failure analysis for yield learning.
