摘要: In some embodiments, a pixel sensor is provided. The pixel sensor includes a first photodetector arranged in a semiconductor substrate. A second photodetector is arranged in the semiconductor substrate, where a first substantially straight line axis intersects a center point of the first photodetector and a center point of the second photodetector. A floating diffusion node is arranged in the semiconductor substrate at a point that is a substantially equal distance from the first photodetector and the second photodetector.

摘要: Implementations of the disclosure provide a method of fabricating an image sensor device. The method includes forming first trenches in a first photoresist layer using a first photomask having a first pattern to expose a first surface of a substrate, directing ions into the exposed first substrate through the first trenches to form first isolation regions in the substrate, removing the first photoresist layer, forming second trenches in a second photoresist layer using a second photomask having a second pattern to expose a second surface of the substrate, the second pattern being shifted diagonally from the first pattern by half mask pitch, directing ions into the exposed second surface through the second trenches to form second isolation regions in the substrate, the first and second isolation regions being alternatingly disposed in the substrate, and the first and second isolation regions defining pixel regions therebetween, and removing the second photoresist layer.

摘要: A first photoresist pattern and a second photoresist pattern are formed over a substrate. The first photoresist pattern is separated from the second photoresist pattern by a gap. A chemical mixture is coated on the first and second photoresist patterns. The chemical mixture contains a chemical material and surfactant particles mixed into the chemical material. The chemical mixture fills the gap. A baking process is performed on the first and second photoresist patterns, the baking process causing the gap to shrink. At least some surfactant particles are disposed at sidewall boundaries of the gap. A developing process is performed on the first and second photoresist patterns. The developing process removes the chemical mixture in the gap and over the photoresist patterns. The surfactant particles disposed at sidewall boundaries of the gap reduce a capillary effect during the developing process.

摘要: A wafer having a first region and a second region is provided. A first topography variation exists between the first region and the second region. A first layer is formed over the first region and over the second region of the wafer. The first layer is patterned. A patterned first layer causes a second topography variation to exist between the first region and the second region. The second topography variation is smoother than the first topography variation. A second layer is formed over the first region and the second region. At least a portion of the second layer is formed over the patterned first layer.

摘要: A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming a structure protruding from a substrate, forming a dielectric layer covering the structure, forming a dummy layer covering the dielectric layer, and performing a planarization process to completely remove the dummy layer. A material of the dummy layer has a slower removal rate to the planarization process than a material of the dielectric layer.
