Embodiment
For ease of describing the present invention and explaining it and the difference of prior art, we now provide the definition of following noun: double-deck sensor devices, multilayer sensor devices, double-sided light sensitive device, two-way sensor devices.Wherein, it is two-layer that double-deck sensor devices refers to that photosensitive pixels physically is divided into, and every one deck all contains the photosensitive pixels of responding to special spectrum.The multilayer sensor devices refers to two-layer above sensor devices, true X3 sensor devices such as Foveon company.The double-sided light sensitive device refers to that sensor devices has two photosensitive surfaces, each face can both be at least sensitization on the direction.Two-way sensor devices refers to that sensor devices can be from sensitization on the direction of two (usually are mutually 180 degree), that is can both sensitization from the front and back of sensor devices.
A sensor devices can have bilayer or multilayer simultaneously, and is two-sided, and in two-way these three characteristics one, and two, and all three characteristics.The present invention relates generally to single-surface double-layer sensor devices (shown in Figure 22 (a) and Figure 22 (b)), two-sided double-deck sensor devices (shown in Figure 23 (a) and Figure 23 (b)), and double-sided multi-layer sensor devices (such as Figure 10-14).No matter be single-surface double-layer or two-sided double-deck or multilayer sensor devices, may be used to positive sensitization (shown in Figure 22 (a)), back side sensitization (shown in Figure 22 (b)), or two-way sensitization (such as Figure 21 or shown in Figure 23).But, being used for different lower times of radiation situation, the design of sensor devices is different.
The multi-optical spectrum light-sensitive device of the specific embodiment of the invention, comprise a basic unit, be provided with a plurality of compound photosensitive pixels macrocells according to the predetermined pattern repeated arrangement in described basic unit, described compound photosensitive pixels macrocell comprises at least one compound photosensitive pixels, described compound photosensitive pixels is comprised of at least two basic photosensitive pixels, described basic photosensitive pixels is along every layer of layered arrangement of direction of illumination, and in one side two-layer mode at the most, be distributed in the end face of basic unit, or bottom surface, or end face and bottom surface.It should be noted that, here just express the relative position on basic unit two sides with the concept of end face and bottom surface, and be not restriction to substrate surface absolute physical position, in the following description, used in addition the concept of the front and back of the basic unit that relative light source position describes to express similar implication.
At this, three concepts have been proposed, compound photosensitive pixels macrocell, compound photosensitive pixels, with basic photosensitive pixels, wherein, basic photosensitive pixels is the photosensitive pixels that can not divide again on every one deck, compound photosensitive pixels then is the combination of at least two basic photosensitive pixels, and the basic photosensitive pixels in the compound photosensitive pixels is arranged a basic photosensitive pixels with the arranged in form along the direction of illumination layering at every one deck, described in the aforementioned figures explanation, basic photosensitive pixels can light sensitive diode or the sensitization door realize that when realizing with the light sensitive diode form, then compound photosensitive pixels forms compound light sensitive diode pair.Certainly, it should be noted that, each photosensitive pixels layer in the compound photosensitive pixels, arrange along light source irradiation direction (the normally normal direction of basic unit's photosensitive surface), but do not limit on the face that only is arranged in basic unit, if in the relative two sides with the basic unit of light source irradiation process, one side near light source is that basic unit is positive, one side away from light source is the basic unit back side, so, and each photosensitive pixels layer in the compound photosensitive pixels, can be all positive in basic unit, also can be all at the basic unit back side, perhaps respectively at the front and back of basic unit, but arrange at most two photosensitive pixels layers on a face.Sum up distributing position and the quantitative relation of photosensitive pixels layer, for a light source irradiation direction, the distribution mode of photosensitive pixels layer can have [2,0], [0,2] (single-surface double-layer), [1,1] (two-sided double-deck), [1,2], [2,1], [2,2] (double-sided multi-layer).Wherein, last digit is the photosensitive pixels number of layers that is arranged in the basic unit front in the compound photosensitive pixels, and a rear numeral is for being arranged in the photosensitive pixels number of layers at the basic unit back side in the compound photosensitive pixels.Compound photosensitive pixels macrocell then is the set that can rebuild the compound photosensitive pixels of colored minimum number, also claim grand pixel, (for example be square formation or honeycomb pattern arrangement mode with this compound photosensitive pixels macrocell by predetermined pattern, or repeated arrangement) repeated arrangement, thus can realize colored the reconstruction at the whole plane of delineation.For double-deck multi-optical spectrum light-sensitive device, compound photosensitive pixels macrocell comprises at least two compound pixels usually.But for the double-sided multi-layer multi-optical spectrum light-sensitive device, macrocell can be single compound pixel.
Because a compound photosensitive pixels has polytype, and a plurality of compound photosensitive pixels that is arranged in the basic unit may have different types, so that sensor devices of the present invention has multiple flexibly form.From the angle of a compound photosensitive pixels, according to number and the distribution of its basic photosensitive pixels, can comprise the compound photosensitive pixels of single-surface double-layer, the compound photosensitive pixels of two-sided double-deck, the compound photosensitive pixels of double-sided multi-layer.As previously mentioned, the compound photosensitive pixels of so-called single-surface double-layer and the compound photosensitive pixels of two-sided double-deck, its basic photosensitive pixels all is two, and it is different just to distribute, and the basic photosensitive pixels in the compound photosensitive pixels of single-surface double-layer is the one side layered arrangement in basic unit; And the basic photosensitive pixels in the compound photosensitive pixels of two-sided double-deck is to arrange on the two sides of basic unit.For the compound photosensitive pixels of double-sided multi-layer, its basic photosensitive pixels can be 3 or 4, owing to arrange at the most two-layer photosensitive pixels in basic unit one side, thereby basic photosensitive pixels at this moment must be the two sides that is distributed in basic unit, and wherein having one side at least is the layered arrangement of two basic photosensitive pixels.It should be noted that, a kind of special circumstances of compound photosensitive pixels are wherein to contain free pixel is arranged, this photosensitive pixels is responded to empty look in other words, at this moment, when for example a basic photosensitive pixels in the compound photosensitive pixels of single-surface double-layer is empty pixel, on sensitization validity, it is equivalent to the compound photosensitive pixels of a single-surface single-layer.
Because the eurypalynous characteristics of compound photosensitive pixels, so that when pixel arrangement quite flexible, for example, a pixel location in basic unit is arranged the compound photosensitive pixels of single-surface double-layer, and can arrange the compound photosensitive pixels of two-sided double-deck at its close position, and can arrange the compound photosensitive pixels of double-sided multi-layer in another adjacent locations, in a word, can arrange dissimilar compound photosensitive pixels at the different pixel locations of basic unit, based on these characteristics, especially, sensor devices when compound photosensitive pixels all in the basic unit is same type defines according to compound photosensitive pixels type, for example, when compound photosensitive pixels all in the basic unit is the compound photosensitive pixels of single-surface double-layer, the sensor devices of corresponding formation is called the single-surface double-layer sensor devices, and the sensor devices that above-mentioned other two kinds of compound photosensitive pixels form is then corresponding to be called the two-sided double-deck sensor devices, or the double-sided multi-layer sensor devices.It should be noted that, as aforementioned, owing to may contain in the compound photosensitive pixels free pixel is arranged, thereby so that degeneration has occured in the compound photosensitive pixels of the partial-pixel position of basic unit, for example in a single-surface double-layer sensor devices, if a compound photosensitive pixels contains an empty pixel, then in fact the compound photosensitive pixels of this single-surface double-layer deteriorates to the photosensitive pixels of a single-surface single-layer, thereby so that on details, compound photosensitive pixels in single-surface double-layer sensor devices and not exclusively be the compound photosensitive pixels of single-surface double-layer, but see on the whole, we still classify as the single-surface double-layer sensor devices with the sensor devices of this situation, and are special, can claim that also it is a kind of single-surface double-layer sensor devices of mixing, accordingly, also there are the two-sided double-deck sensor devices of mixing and the double-sided multi-layer sensor devices of mixing.
Basic photosensitive pixels in the compound photosensitive pixels generally is arranged to respond to the different spectral coverage in visible light or visible light and the infrared light sensitization, for example, can be by a spectral coverage of the pairwise orthogonal of each self-induction visible light of the basic photosensitive pixels in the compound photosensitive pixels or visible light and infrared light, by the different spectral coverage of the induction of the basic photosensitive pixels in each the compound photosensitive pixels in the compound photosensitive pixels macrocell and compound photosensitive pixels spectrum, the spectral information that all compound photosensitive pixels of compound photosensitive pixels macrocell are responded to combines and comprises that RGB or CMYK are colored to rebuild necessary spectral information.
Wherein, the spectrum of responding to from the nearest basic photosensitive pixels of light source in the compound photosensitive pixels comprises the sky look, blueness, and green, cyan, white, and white adds infrared colour.The spectrum of responding to from light source basic photosensitive pixels farthest in the compound photosensitive pixels comprises the sky look, green, and redness, yellow, white, redness adds infrared colour, and yellow adds infrared colour, and white adds infrared colour.
More than be the explanation how photosensitive pixels among the present invention is arranged, the processing that the multi-optical spectrum light-sensitive device of the specific embodiment of the invention is described below realizes.Material according to basic unit is different, and for the realization of single-surface double-layer multi-optical spectrum light-sensitive device, a kind of way is:
Get the N basic unit (such as Fig. 5 (a)) of a silicon crystal, a pixel location on this N basic unit one side, depth requirements according to color, done the P impurity of certain depth inserts to basic unit inside by this pixel location surface, form a P doped layer, this P doped layer is a photosensitive layer of compound photosensitive pixels, has also namely formed a basic photosensitive pixels in the compound photosensitive pixels.Then doing other the N impurity of certain depth at this P doped layer inserts, be formed on the N doped layer in the P doped layer, this N doped layer is another photosensitive layer of compound photosensitive pixels, also namely formed another the basic photosensitive pixels in the compound photosensitive pixels, at this moment, the compound photosensitive pixels of this single-surface double-layer is that composite junction by P-N-P forms.
Another kind of way is, get the P basic unit (such as Fig. 5 (b)) of a silicon crystal, a pixel location on this P basic unit one side, depth requirements according to color, done the N impurity of certain depth inserts to basic unit inside by this pixel location surface, form a N doped layer, this N doped layer is a photosensitive layer of compound photosensitive pixels, has also namely formed a basic photosensitive pixels in the compound photosensitive pixels.Then doing other the P impurity of certain depth at this N doped layer inserts, be formed on the P doped layer in the N doped layer, this P doped layer is another photosensitive layer of compound photosensitive pixels, also namely formed another the basic photosensitive pixels in the compound photosensitive pixels, at this moment, the compound photosensitive pixels of this single-surface double-layer is that composite junction by N-P-N forms.
Foregoing description is the making of a compound photosensitive pixels, making for other the compound photosensitive pixels on basic unit's photosurface, its processing mode is identical, and just at different pixel locations, the degree of depth that impurity is inserted determines according to the wavelength of the spectrum of the color of the desired induction of corresponding pixel and different.
The realization of two-sided double-deck multi-optical spectrum light-sensitive device:
Get the N basic unit (such as Fig. 4 (a)) of a silicon crystal, the pixel of front surface is classified by required color, and the P that each class pixel is done certain depth by the color depth demand mixes.Equally, also the pixel at the back side is classified by required color, and the P that each class pixel is done certain depth according to the depth requirements of color mixes.The degree of depth that P impurity is inserted is determined by the wavelength of the spectrum of desired induction.
Another kind of more superior way is, gets the P basic unit (such as Fig. 4 (b)) of a silicon crystal, and by required color classification, and the N that each class pixel is done certain depth by the color depth demand mixes with the pixel of front surface.Equally, also the pixel at the back side is pressed required color classification, and the N that each class pixel is done certain depth according to the depth requirements of color mixes.The degree of depth that N impurity is inserted is determined by the wavelength of the spectrum of desired induction.The compound photosensitive pixels of two-sided double-deck that the compound photosensitive pixels of two-sided double-deck that this N-P-N composite junction forms forms than top P-N-P composite junction is superior to be because mobile strong than P of N.
The realization of double-sided multi-layer multi-optical spectrum light-sensitive device:
Get N or the P basic unit (such as Fig. 9-14) of a silicon crystal, with the mode of front surface with single-surface double-layer or individual layer, make one or two photosensitive pixels layer, with the mode of the back side with single-surface double-layer or individual layer, make one or two photosensitive pixels layer.The difference that is set up according to these cloth, the composite junction that consists of a compound photosensitive pixels of double-sided multi-layer comprises N-P-N, P-N-P, N-P-N-P, P-N-P-N, N-P-N-P-N, and the multiple situation such as P-N-P-N-P.
After obtaining compound photosensitive pixels, if photosignal need to be read, also need to arrange reading circuit and other control circuits.The layout of reading circuit and other control circuit is according to passive pixel (Passive Pixel) or initiatively pixel (Active Pixel) designs, if select the initiatively design of pixel, so, except the light sensitive diode such as Fig. 3 (a), also have reading circuit as shown in Figure 7, and the standard time sequence of not indicating among many figure and control circuit.
For the photosensitive pixels layer that is used for responding to infrared light, can namely should be used for the photosensitive pixels layer lower surface of induction infrared light at the back side of its correspondence position, regrowth germanium or Si Ge crystal layer are to improve the absorption efficiency of infrared spectrum.In addition, also can be after grown germanium or Si Ge crystal, arrange again and utilize aluminium matter, silver or mirror-reflection plated film that other materials is made, in order to will there not be absorbed infrared photon to reflect back, thereby again absorbed by infrared photosensitive pixels layer.The intensity of reflection decides according to thickness and the absorptivity of infrared photosensitive pixels layer, in order to avoid other pixel is produced unnecessary interference.
If be used for two-way sensitization, and adopt " multi-optical spectrum light-sensitive device and preparation method thereof " (Chinese application number: 200810217270.2) described pixel choosing to or the subregion choosing to mode, so, some pixel class or pixel region in the front are coated the shading plated film, and overleaf other pixel class or pixel region are coated the shading plated film.
In above realization, we can replace light sensitive diode (PhotoDiode) with sensitization door (Photo Gate) fully, thereby obtain take the single-surface double-layer of sensitization door as the basis, two-sided double-deck, and double-sided multi-layer sensor devices.
Because the single-surface double-layer that the present invention obtains, two-sided double-deck, or the double-sided multi-layer sensor devices provides redundant color information, therefore, for all very crucial application (for example mobile phone) of a lot of costs and size, the compound pixel of part can comprise the sky pixel, thus the mixing single-surface double-layer that obtains degenerating, mix two-sided double-deck, and mix the double-sided multi-layer sensor devices.
The present invention both can make of technology and the technique of CCD, also can make of technology and the technique of CMOS.Because the hypersensitivity that the present invention brings, basic pixel namely can with the mode of passive photosensitive pixels (Passive Pixel), also can adopt the mode of active photosensitive pixels (Active Pixel) to read.These characteristics so that the present invention merges fully with existing ripe semiconductor sensitive chip manufacturing technology, thereby can be widely used.The present invention is in the performance that significantly improves sensitive chip and function, because the raising of yields also can reduce or not increase at least cost.
The present invention is by optimally being arranged in the basic photosensitive pixels in the compound photosensitive pixels on two degree of depth, and formation single-surface double-layer, two-sided double-deck, polytype with the double-sided multi-layer sensor devices, greatly expand the kind of sensitive chip, and realized physically first overlapping and integrated on one chip of infrared sensitization and color sensitive.
Also do on its basis nature and slight accommodation (as adding filter coating) according to production method provided by the invention, just can pass through single-surface double-layer, two-sided double-deck, the form of list or double-sided multi-layer forms (empty look, white), (blueness, yellow), (blueness, green), (green, redness), (blueness, red), (blueness, red+infrared), (blueness, yellow+infrared), (empty look, white+infrared), (white+infrared), bilayer or MULTILAYER COMPOSITE photosensitive pixels that the visible light that (blue/green/red/blue or green/yellow/white, infrared) etc. is corresponding all or visible light add quadrature in the infrared light.
The present invention is by aforementioned two-sided, two-way, double-deck, and the application of the sensitization mode such as multilayer, thereby can be used for two-way photosensitive system with single sensor devices, greatly reduce system cost, and is reduced in size, reduces system complexity; And so that some need to receive in same system the application of multispectral or multi-direction the multispectral signal of both direction (or from), become possibility.For example, be used at present the pill camera of inspection patient's gastrointestinal system, only at one photographic head be housed.For obtaining the image of a certain position of gastrointestinal system, may need shooting repeatedly, thereby bring great misery and huge economic cost to patient.For this reason, then need to improve the coverage of single shot, and if photographic head need to also be housed at the other end of pill camera, adopt the prior art means, just must in a very little space, fill two cover systems, larger difficulty is arranged in the realization.And employing the present invention, only needing increases a camera lens in the other end, and its sensitive chip still just adopts a slice, less demanding to the space not only, and also Financial cost also is lower than the cost of two cover systems.In addition, the present invention can on a monitoring camera, monitor former and later two directions, for the 3G mobile that former and later two cameras much are housed, adopt the present invention, can replace with a bidirectional camera shooting head, switch the switching that realizes the front and back scene by electronics or machinery.For the supervisory control system of some luxurious hotels, it just can no longer need two cover supervisory control systems to monitor respectively both direction, and only need can finish necessary monitoring once the cover supervisory control system if the scene at the two ends of monitoring corridor adopts the present invention.
The mode that usefulness provided by the invention is integrated on same (CMOS or CCD semiconductor) device, realizes sensitization colored and infrared the time, and coloured image and infrared image are overlapping in the locus.Novel like this sensor devices has greatly been expanded the dynamic range of sensor devices, thereby satisfies automobile, high performance requirements in the fields such as security protection. moreover, it is used for undersized color sensitive device, and the camera as mobile phone is used also can improve image quality significantly.
Although the present invention is described preferably to be embodied as example, this announcement should not be understood to have restricted.Be skillful in the people that image sensor devices (such as semiconductor chip) is pored over again this paper for those, many variations and performance all are possible, these variations and performance still drop on category of the present invention, as long as they belong to true essentials of the present invention and simple change.
