    摘要: For fabricating an image sensor, an isolation structure is formed to define a first active region of a semiconductor substrate. A first transistor and a second transistor of a unit pixel are formed in the first active region. In addition, a threshold voltage lowering region is formed in a portion of the semiconductor substrate near a portion of the isolation structure abutting the second transistor in the first active region. The threshold voltage lowering region causes the second transistor to have a respective threshold voltage magnitude that is lower than for the first transistor. The threshold voltage lowering region is formed simultaneously with a passivation region in a second active region having a photodiode formed therein.

    摘要: Image sensors include a pixel region and a logic region. Pixel isolation regions in the pixel region include pixel isolation region walls that are less sloped than logic isolation region walls in the logic region. An impurity layer also may be provided adjacent at least some of the pixel isolation region walls, wherein at least some of the logic isolation region walls are free of the impurity layer. The impurity layer and/or the less sloped logic isolation region walls may also be provided for NMOS devices in the logic region but not for PMOS devices in the logic region. Doped sacrificial layers may be used to fabricate the impurity layer.

    摘要: In a method of manufacturing a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor (CIS), an epitaxial layer may be formed on a first substrate including a chip area and a scribe lane area. A first impurity layer may be formed adjacent to the first substrate by implanting first impurities into the epitaxial layer. A photodiode may be formed in the epitaxial layer on the chip area. A circuit element electrically connected to the photodiode may be formed on the epitaxial layer. A protective layer protecting the circuit element may be formed on the epitaxial layer. A second substrate may be attached onto the protective layer. The first substrate may be removed to expose the epitaxial layer. A color filter layer may be formed on the exposed epitaxial layer using the first impurity layer as an alignment key. A microlens may be formed over the color filter layer.
