Abstract
Description
Embodiments relate to an image sensor and a method of manufacturing the same.
An image sensor is a semiconductor device that converts an optical image into an electrical signal, and is classified into a charge coupled device (CCD) image sensor and a CMOS image sensor (CIS). .
In general, an image sensor forms a photodiode on a silicon substrate by ion implantation. As the size of the photodiode is gradually reduced for the purpose of increasing the number of pixels without increasing the chip size, the image characteristic is reduced by reducing the area of the light receiving unit.
In addition, since the stack height is not reduced as much as the area of the light receiving unit is reduced, the number of photons incident on the light receiving unit also decreases due to a diffraction phenomenon of light called an airy disk.
As an alternative to overcome this, an attempt is made to receive light through the wafer back side to minimize the step difference of the light receiving unit, and to prevent the phenomenon of light interference caused by metal routing (back light receiving). Image sensor).
In such a back-receiving image sensor, there is no device isolation region on the rear surface of the substrate, and thus, there is a problem that is very vulnerable to optical cross talk.
The embodiment provides an image sensor capable of preventing cross talk and a method of manufacturing the same.
An image sensor according to an embodiment includes a first device isolation layer formed on a front side of a semiconductor substrate to define a pixel region; A unit pixel including a light sensing unit and a readout circuit formed in the pixel area; An interlayer insulating layer including wirings formed on a front side of the semiconductor substrate; A trench formed on a back side of the semiconductor substrate opposite to a front surface of the semiconductor substrate and formed on a rear surface of the semiconductor substrate so as to correspond to the first device isolation layer; And a second device isolation layer formed in the trench.
In another embodiment, a method of manufacturing an image sensor includes: forming a first device isolation layer on a front surface of a semiconductor substrate such that a pixel region is defined; Forming a unit pixel including a light sensing unit and a readout circuit in the pixel area; Forming an interlayer insulating layer including wiring on a front side of the semiconductor substrate; Forming a trench on a back side of the semiconductor substrate opposite to a front surface of the semiconductor substrate so as to correspond to the first device isolation layer; And forming a second device isolation layer in the trench.
The image sensor and the method of manufacturing the same according to the embodiment may simultaneously improve the electric crosstalk and the optical crosstalk in the rear light receiving image sensor.
That is, the first device isolation region may be formed on the front side of the semiconductor substrate, and the second device isolation region may be formed on the rear side of the semiconductor substrate.
In particular, since the electron generation region of the semiconductor substrate can be set by the second device isolation region, it is possible to fundamentally prevent optical crosstalk.
In addition, the second device isolation region is formed in a dual structure having different refractive indices, and the light sensitivity of the unit pixel can be improved since the path of incident light can be changed.
Hereinafter, a back light receiving image sensor and a method of manufacturing the same according to an embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
In the description of the embodiments, where it is described as being formed "on / under" of each layer, it is understood that the phase is formed directly or indirectly through another layer. It includes everything.
