    摘要: A novel image sensor cell structure and method of manufacture. The imaging sensor comprises a substrate, a gate comprising a dielectric layer and gate conductor formed on the 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. Part of the gate conductor bottom 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.

    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: The present invention relates to a design structure for a pixel sensor cell. The pixel sensor cell approximately doubles the available signal for a given quanta of light. A design structure for a pixel sensor cell having reduced complexity includes an n-type collection well region formed beneath a surface of a substrate for collecting electrons generated by electromagnetic radiation impinging on the pixel sensor cell and a p-type collection well region formed beneath the surface of the substrate for collecting holes generated by the impinging photons. A circuit structure having a first input is coupled to the n-type collection well region and a second input is coupled to the p-type collection well region, wherein an output signal of the pixel sensor cell is the magnitude of the difference of a signal of the first input and a signal of the second input.

    摘要: Disclosed is a method of manufacturing dual orientation wafers. A trench is formed in a multi-layer wafer to a silicon substrate with a first crystalline orientation. The trench is filled with a silicon material (e.g., amorphous silicon or polysilicon trench). Isolation structures are formed to isolate the silicon material in the trench from a semiconductor layer with a second crystalline orientation. Additional isolation structures are formed within the silicon material in the trench and within the semiconductor layer. A patterned amorphization process is performed on the silicon material in the trench and followed by a recrystallization anneal such that the silicon material in the trench recrystallizes with the same crystalline orientation as the silicon substrate. The resulting structure is a semiconductor wafer with isolated semiconductor areas on the same plane having different crystalline orientations as well as isolated sections within each semiconductor area for device formation.
