Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for fabricating a CMOS image sensor including a plurality of steps. Firstly, a substrate is provided. Then, a pixel region covering most of the substrate and a logic circuit region on a periphery of the substrate are formed. After that, at least one trench is formed in the pixel region. Next, a deposition process is performed to fill the at least one trench and cover the pixel region. Then, a planarization process is performed to expose a surface of the pixel region. A first treatment on the exposed surface of the pixel region is next performed by applying a first cleaning solution including hydrogen fluoride (HF) and ethylene glycol (EG). Besides, an amount of HF is lesser than that of EG.
Abstract:
A method of fabricating an isolation structure of a semiconductor device includes the following steps. Firstly, a substrate including a first surface and a second surface is provided. At least one trench is formed in the first surface of the substrate. The trench has a sidewall and a bottom surface. Then, a first chemical vapor deposition process is performed to form a first isolation layer on the first surface of the substrate and the sidewall and the bottom surface of the trench. Then, an anisotropic surface treatment process is performed, so that a surface of the first isolation layer has differential surface chemical properties. Afterwards, a second chemical vapor deposition process is performed to form a second isolation layer on the first isolation layer with a surface having differential surface chemical properties.
