Abstract: Implementations described herein reduce electron-hole pair generation due to silicon dangling bonds in pixel sensors. In some implementations, the silicon dangling bonds in a pixel sensor may be passivated by silicon-fluorine (Si—F) bonding in various portions of the pixel sensor such as a transfer gate contact via or a shallow trench isolation region, among other examples. The silicon-fluorine bonds are formed by fluorine implantation and/or another type of semiconductor processing operation. In some implementations, the silicon-fluorine bonds are formed as part of a cleaning operation using fluorine (F) such that the fluorine may bond with the silicon of the pixel sensor. Additionally, or alternatively, the silicon-fluorine bonds are formed as part of a doping operation in which boron (B) and/or another p-type doping element is used with fluorine such that the fluorine may bond with the silicon of the pixel sensor.

Abstract: An image sensor device includes a substrate, photosensitive pixels, an interconnect structure, a dielectric layer, and a light blocking element. The photosensitive pixels are in the substrate. The interconnect structure is over a first side of the substrate. The dielectric layer is over a second side of the substrate opposite the first side of the substrate.

Abstract: A method of fabricating polysilicon gate structure in an image sensor device includes depositing a gate dielectric layer on a surface of a substrate. Then a polysilicon layer is deposited over the gate dielectric layer. Next, a protection film is deposited over the polysilicon layer. A hard mask is formed over the protection film, and the polysilicon gate structure is patterned. Following that, the hard mask is stripped off. The protection film exhibits etching selectivity against the polysilicon layer and has a thickness of between 40 and 60 angstroms. The hard mask is removed by phosphoric acid solution wet etching process.

Abstract: An image sensor is provided including a substrate, an array of photosensitive units, a grid, a light-tight layer and a plurality of color filters. In the image sensor, the grid has a top surface, and the light-tight layer is disposed on the top surface of the grid. Due to the light-tight layer on the grid, an incident light entering into the grid can be blocked by the light-tight layer, so that the crosstalk effect is reduced significantly. Further, a method for manufacturing the image sensor also provides herein.
