Abstract:
A method includes etching a semiconductor substrate to form a trench, filling a dielectric layer into the trench, with a void being formed in the trench and between opposite portions of the dielectric layer, etching the dielectric layer to reveal the void, forming a diffusion barrier layer on the dielectric layer, and forming a high-reflectivity metal layer on the diffusion barrier layer. The high-reflectivity metal layer has a portion extending into the trench. A remaining portion of the void is enclosed by the high-reflectivity metal layer.
Abstract:
The semiconductor device includes a substrate, a bottom electrode, a capacitor dielectric layer, a top electrode, an etching stop layer, a first anti-reflective coating layer and a capping layer. The bottom electrode is on the substrate. The capacitor dielectric layer is on the bottom electrode. The capacitor dielectric layer has a first region and a second region adjacent to the first region. The top electrode is on the first region of the capacitor dielectric layer. The etching stop layer is on the top electrode. The first anti-reflective coating layer is on the etching stop layer, in which the first anti-reflective coating layer, the etching stop layer and the top electrode together have a sidewall. The capping layer overlies the sidewall, the etching stop layer, the second region of the capacitor dielectric layer, in which the capping layer is formed from oxide or nitride.
Abstract:
Embodiments of mechanisms of a backside illuminated image sensor device structure are provided. The backside illuminated image sensor device structure includes a substrate having a frontside and a backside and a pixel array formed in the frontside of the substrate. The backside illuminated image sensor device structure further includes an antireflective layer formed over the backside of the substrate, and the antireflective layer is made of silicon carbide nitride.
