An image sensor using a back-illuminated photodiode and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. According to the present invention, since a surface of the back-illuminated photodiode can be stably treated, the back-illuminated photodiode can be formed to have a low dark current, a constant sensitivity of blue light for all photodiodes, and high sensitivity. In addition, it is possible to manufacture an image sensor with high density by employing a three dimensional structure in which a photodiode and a logic circuit are separately formed on different substrates.

A method of bonding aluminum (Al) electrodes formed on two semiconductor substrates at a low temperature that does not affect circuits formed on the two semiconductor substrates is provided. The method includes: (a) forming aluminum (Al) electrodes on the two semiconductor substrates, respectively, and depositing a metal alloy that comprises aluminum (Al) and copper (Cu) onto the aluminum (Al) electrodes; (b) arranging the aluminum (Al) electrodes of the two semiconductor substrates to face with each other; and (c) heating the aluminum (Al) electrodes at a temperature lower than the melting point of the deposited metal alloy, and applying a specific pressure onto the two semiconductor substrates.

Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a photodiode for an image sensor which can drastically improve sensitivity compared to silicon-based devices and is advantageous for miniaturization, and a photodiode manufactured thereby. The method of this invention includes (a) applying a photoresist onto a silicon substrate; (b) forming a recess of a predetermined depth in the silicon substrate through exposure and etching; (c) forming a germanium layer in the recess of the silicon substrate formed in step (b); and (d) subjecting the germanium layer formed in step (c) to crystal growth. According to the method of this invention, even though the germanium layer is formed to be thin on the silicon substrate, since germanium has high light absorption efficiency, superior light intensity properties may be exhibited to those of image sensors based on silicon, resulting in sufficiently absorbed light. Further, small image sensors may be manufactured in this invention.

The crystalline silicon thin film solar cell achieves insulation between unit cells by using an oxide layer formed by performing thermal oxidation, and after removing portions of the thermal oxide layer, the unit cells are electrically connected to each other by a conductive layer formed on the thermal oxide layer. An insulating layer of the crystalline silicon thin film solar cell can be easily manufactured and has a good insulation property to increases surface characteristics of the cell, so that the solar cell having a high efficiency can be manufactured.
Abstract:
A photodiode for an image sensor capable of reducing reflection of light incident onto the photodiode and effectively absorbing transmitted light and a method of manufacturing the same are provided. In the photodiode for the image sensor, a silicon concavo-convex surface with a nano-thickness is formed by forming silicon oxide (SiO , x = 0.5-1.5) layer on a silicon substrate and treating the silicon oxide layer with heat. A photodiode region is formed under the silicon layer having convexes and concaves. In this case, light absorptance increases because light reflected on the silicon concavo-convex surface is reincident onto another convex or concave. Therefore, an effective depth of the photodiode is larger than that of a planar photodiode, and accordingly, quantum efficiency of the photodiode increases.

Also, the three-dimensional image display apparatus is capable of representing a multi-viewpoint image and selective representation of two-dimensional and three-dimensional images.
