摘要: A method for forming a light-sensing device is provided. The method includes forming a light-sensing region in a semiconductor substrate. The semiconductor substrate has a front surface and a light-receiving surface opposite to the front surface. The method also includes forming a first dielectric layer over the front surface and forming a second dielectric layer over the first dielectric layer. The second dielectric layer has a different refractive index than that of the first dielectric layer, and the first dielectric layer and the second dielectric layer together form a (or a part of a) light-reflective element. The method further includes partially removing the first dielectric layer and the second dielectric layer to form a contact opening. In addition, the method includes forming a conductive contact to partially (or completely) fill the contact opening.

摘要: A semiconductor device structure is provided. The semiconductor device structure includes a first semiconductor die, and a second semiconductor die bonded on the first semiconductor die. A through-substrate via penetrates through a semiconductor substrate of the second semiconductor die. A passivation layer is disposed between the first semiconductor die and the second semiconductor die, wherein the passivation layer is directly bonded to the semiconductor substrate of the second semiconductor die. A conductive feature passes through the passivation layer, wherein the conductive feature is bonded to the through-substrate via. A barrier layer is disposed between the conductive feature and the passivation layer. The barrier layer covers sidewalls of the conductive feature and separates the surface of the conductive feature from a nearest neighboring surface of the first or second semiconductor die.

摘要: The present disclosure relates to a CMOS image sensor, and an associated method of formation. In some embodiments, the CMOS image sensor comprises a floating diffusion region disposed at one side of a transfer gate within a substrate and a photo detecting column disposed at the other side of the transfer gate opposing to the floating diffusion region within the substrate. The photo detecting column comprises a doped sensing layer with a doping type opposite to that of the substrate. The photo detecting column and the substrate are in contact with each other at a junction interface comprising one or more recessed portions. By forming the junction interface with recessed portions, the junction interface is enlarged compared to a previous p-n junction interface without recessed portions, and thus a full well capacity of the photodiode structure is improved.

摘要: In some embodiments, the present disclosure relates to an integrated chip (IC) having a back-side through-silicon-via (BTSV) with a direct physical connection between a metal interconnect layer and a back-side conductive bond pad. The IC has metal interconnect layers arranged within an inter-level dielectric structure disposed onto a front-side of a substrate. A dielectric layer is arranged along a back-side of the substrate, and a conductive bond pad is arranged over the dielectric layer. A BTSV extends from one of the metal interconnect layers through the substrate and the dielectric layer to the conductive bond pad. A conductive bump is arranged onto the conductive bond pad, which has a substantially planar lower surface extending from over the BTSV to below the conductive bump. Directly connecting the conductive bond pad to the BTSV reduces a size of the conductive bond thereby improving a routing capability of the conductive bond pad.

摘要: The present disclosure is directed to anchor structures and methods for forming anchor structures such that planarization and wafer bonding can be uniform. Anchor structures can include anchor layers formed on a dielectric layer surface and anchor pads formed in the anchor layer and on the dielectric layer surface. The anchor layer material can be selected such that the planarization selectivity of the anchor layer, anchor pads, and the interconnection material can be substantially the same as one another. Anchor pads can provide uniform density of structures that have the same or similar material.
