    摘要: A conductive light shield is formed over a first dielectric layer of a via level in a metal interconnect structure. The conductive light shield is covers a floating drain of an image sensor pixel cell. A second dielectric layer is formed over the conductive light shield and at least one via extending from a top surface of the second dielectric layer to a bottom surface of the first dielectric layer is formed in the metal interconnect structure. The conductive light shield may be formed within a contact level between a top surface of a semiconductor substrate and a first metal line level, or may be formed in any metal interconnect via level between two metal line levels. The inventive image sensor pixel cell is less prone to noise due to the blockage of light over the floating drain by the conductive light shield.

    摘要: A semiconductor-insulator-silicide (SIS) capacitor is formed by depositing a thin silicon containing layer on a salicide mask dielectric layer, followed by lithographic patterning of the stack and metallization of the thin silicon containing layer and other exposed semiconductor portions of a semiconductor substrate. The thin silicon containing layer is fully reacted during metallization and consequently converted to a silicide alloy layer, which is a first electrode of a capacitor. The salicide mask dielectric layer is the capacitor dielectric. The second electrode of the capacitor may be a doped polycrystalline silicon containing layer, a doped single crystalline semiconductor region, or another doped polycrystalline silicon containing layer disposed on the doped polycrystalline silicon containing layer. The SIS insulator may further comprise other dielectric layers and conductive layers to increase capacitance per area.
