With reference to figure 2; Show imageing sensor 200 according to an embodiment of the invention; This imageing sensor 200 comprises pel array, and each pixel cell in this pel array comprises: photodiode 201 is used to respond to light intensity and changes and generate corresponding image charge signal; Transfering transistor 202 is used for transition diagram image charge signal; And the source follows transistor 204, is used for based on the image charge signal formation voltage signal that is shifted, and wherein, it is junction field effect transistors that transistor 204 is followed in this source.
Need to prove that in some instances, a plurality of pixel cells in the pel array can have a source and follow transistor 204, for example adjacent 2,4 or more a plurality of pixel cell can be followed transistor 204 with output voltage signal in a shared source.In addition, in the present embodiment, it is p type field effect transistors that transistor 204 is followed in the source.It will be understood by those skilled in the art that in other embodiment, the source is followed transistor 204 and also can be n type field effect transistor.
Particularly, photodiode 201 is coupled to reference potential line VSS, for example or the negative supply current potential, and between the source electrode of transfering transistor 202, is used to respond to light intensity and changes and form corresponding image charge signal.The drain electrode of transfering transistor 202 links to each other with the grid that transistor 204 is followed in the source; The grid of this transfering transistor 202 is used for receiving transfer control signal TX; Under the control of shifting control signal TX; Transfering transistor 202 corresponding conducting or shutoffs, thus the image charge signal that makes photodiode 201 responded to is read into the floating diffusion region of the drain electrode that is coupled in this transfering transistor 202, and by this floating diffusion region memory image charge signal.

Fig. 3 a shows the source of imageing sensor 200 among Fig. 2 and follows a transistorized example 300, and wherein to follow transistor be p type field effect transistor in this source.It should be understood by one skilled in the art that its operation principle is equally applicable to the source and follows the situation that transistor is a n type field effect transistor.
Shown in Fig. 3 a, this source is followed transistor and is comprised:
P type substrate 301;
N type trap 303, it is arranged in P type substrate 301;
N type deposit doped layer 305, it is positioned at outside P type substrate 301 surfaces, and part is positioned on the N type trap 303 at least;
P type source region 307, it is arranged in N type trap 303;
P type drain region 309, it is arranged in P type substrate 301 and/or N type trap 303;
P type doped layer 311; It is at least partly between N type trap 303 and N type deposit doped layer 305; So that P type source region 307 is electrically connected with P type drain region 309; And make P type source region 307 be electrically connected with P type drain region 309, and between P type doped layer 311 and N type trap 303, and between this P type doped layer 311 and N type deposit doped layer 305, form PN junction respectively.
Particularly, P type substrate 301 can be the semiconductor wafer that the P type mixes, or the silicon-on-insulator (SOI) of P type doping, or the P type well region in the semiconductor wafer of N type doping, perhaps other similar substrate or well regions.
P type source region 307 all is arranged in N type trap 303.This N type trap 303 makes P type source region 307 and P type substrate 301 isolate each other.Because source region 307 is used for output voltage signal, it possibly have higher current potential, and P type substrate 301 is couple to reference potential line usually, for example.Therefore, the substrate break-through can be avoided with the 301 mutual isolation of P type substrate in source region 307, follows transistorized operate as normal to guarantee the source.
According to the difference of specific embodiment, this P type drain region 309 can all be arranged in the P type substrate 301 outside the N type trap 303; Perhaps all be arranged in N type trap 303; Perhaps a part is positioned at N type trap 303, and another part is arranged in the P type substrate 301 outside the N type trap 303.In the example shown in Fig. 3 a 300, P type drain region 309 all is arranged in N type trap 303, thereby it is electrically connected through the P type doped layer 311 in the N type trap 303 with P type source region 307 each other.In practical application, (overlap) overlapped to realize being electrically connected therebetween with P type doped layer 311 respectively each other in this P type source region 307 and P type drain region 309.Corresponding with P type doped layer 311, N type deposit doped layer 305 also can be positioned on the N type trap 303 whole or in part, and between source region 307 and drain region 309.In the example 300 of Fig. 3 a, the Butut (layout) of this N type deposit doped layer 305 all is positioned at the Butut of N type trap 303.
P type doped layer 311 is between N type trap 303 and N type deposit doped layer 305, and electrical connection P type source region 307 and P type drain region 309.Because P type doped layer 311 part at least is arranged in N type trap 303, thereby this P type doped layer 311 contacts with N type trap 303, thereby near its contact interface, formed a PN junction of technotron.In addition, P type doped layer 311 also at least partly is in contact with one another with position N type deposit doped layer 305 on it, thereby near its contact interface, has formed another PN junction of technotron.This makes N type trap 303 and N type deposit doped layer 305 act as this source and follows transistorized grid, and the conducting channel district of transistor 300 is followed in the source of being, zone between two PN junctions.When transistor work is followed in the source; The different meetings of the voltage difference between N type deposit doped layer 305 (and N type trap 303) and source region 307 and the drain region 309 cause the change width of the knot space charge region of these two PN junctions; Promptly change the conducting channel thickness of technotron, and then changed the size of channel current.Need to prove,, promptly constitute, thereby the interfacial state defective of its contact-making surface position is far fewer than the interfacial state defective of oxide layer-substrate interface by silicon because P type doped layer 311 adopts identical materials with N type deposit doped layer 305.Because channel current is in the P type doped layer 311 away from P type substrate 301 surfaces; It can not receive the interfacial state effect of P type substrate 301 surface oxide layers-substrate interface basically; Thereby greatly reduce the probability that charge carrier was captured or discharged to the interfacial state defective at random, and then effectively reduced the source and followed the flicker noise in the transistor output voltage signal.
In certain embodiments; Electrically contacting between N type deposit doped layer 305 and the P type doped layer 311 can be through removing the dielectric layer 304 on P type substrate 301 surfaces; Oxide layer for example; Realize that is: P type substrate 301 surfaces are formed with layer of oxide layer usually, can the oxide layer of P type doped layer 311 tops partly be removed so that this P type doped layer 311 is exposed from P type substrate 301 surfaces; Afterwards, polysilicon that deposit is for example mixed on P type substrate 301 again or amorphous silicon are to form this N type deposit doped layer 305.This dielectric layer 304 can be pre-formed on P type substrate 301 surfaces.Because the isolation of dielectric layer 304, N type deposit doped layer 305 only contacts with P type doped layer 311 and constitutes PN junction, and can not electrically contact with P type source region 307 and P type drain region 309.In some instances, doped polycrystalline silicon layer or amorphous silicon layer can mix to this polysilicon or amorphous silicon when being deposited in the lump, promptly in the reaction cavity of deposit, add the gas with dopant ion.This does not just need to mix with the mode of ion injection to form N type deposit doped layer 305 again, and this can reduce the primary ions injection, thereby reduces the cost of manufacture of imageing sensor.Be appreciated that at some in other the example that N type deposit doped layer 305 also can form through following manner: first deposit polysilicon or amorphous silicon, polysilicon or the amorphous silicon to institute's deposit mixes again, for example injects with ion or diffusion way mixes.
In addition, N type deposit doped layer 305 for example can adopt dry etching to control, and its profile is easy to control, therefore adopts imageing sensor 300 reliabilities of this technotron higher.Preferably, in the embodiment shown in Fig. 3 a, the edge of N type deposit doped layer 305 is positioned on the dielectric layer 304.This dielectric layer 304 makes N type deposit doped layer 305 edges and P type substrate 301 isolate.In the process of etching N type deposit doped layer 305; Dielectric layer 304 between its edge and the P type substrate 301 can so that the etching stopping of N type deposit doped layer 305 on dielectric layer 304, thereby avoid the damage of P type substrate 301 and the damage of the transistor that brings thus.In some instances, the part that N type deposit doped layer 305 contacts with P type substrate 301 is positioned at the window of dielectric layer 304, and its edge exceeds this dielectric layer 304 window edge certain-lengths, for example 5 nanometers, 10 nanometers, 50 nanometers, or the like.
In some instances, N type trap 303 can be overlapped in P type doped layer 311 exterior portions with N type deposit doped layer 305, thereby make N type trap 303 be electrically connected each other with N type deposit doped layer 305.This just need in N type trap 303, not make extra through hole or other structures are drawn N type trap 303, thereby has reduced cost of manufacture.Be appreciated that in other examples N type trap 303 can directly not contact with N type deposit doped layer 305 each other yet, but is electrically connected through the through hole in the dielectric layer 304.
Fig. 3 b shows the source of imageing sensor 200 among Fig. 2 and follows transistorized another example.In Fig. 3 b, also show the photodiode of imageing sensor 200, it is by P type substrate 301 and be positioned at the outer N type doped regions 321 of N type trap 303 and constitute.
Shown in Fig. 3 b, also comprise isolated groove 323 in the P type substrate 301, it is positioned at outside the N type trap 303, promptly between N type doped region 321 and N type trap 303.Isolated groove 323 adopts insulating material, and for example silica, silicon nitride form, thereby have electric isolation effect preferably.Isolated groove 323 in the P type substrate 301 makes N type doped region 321 and N type trap 303 isolate each other, and it can effectively be avoided negative pole and the source of photodiode to follow between the transistorized grid being short-circuited (being break-through) and influence the operation of imageing sensor.Can find out that owing to reduced the primary ions injection, the profile of conducting channel is easy to control, and can be owing to the annealing number of times too much causes darker junction depth.Therefore; This imageing sensor need not to make in the P type substrate 301 outside conducting channel darker isolation channel and isolates adjacent area; Be that isolated groove 323 can adopt fleet plough groove isolation structure (Shallow Trench Isolation); Its chip area that takies is less relatively, thereby can effectively reduce the area of imageing sensor.
In a preferred embodiment, isolated groove 323 can be adjacent with P type source region 307 and/or N type doped region 321, and this can further reduce the area of imageing sensor, thereby improve chip integration.Especially, in the example shown in Fig. 3 b, isolated groove 323 is adjacent with N type trap 303 and P type source region 307, and this makes the N type trap 303 and the contact area of P type substrate 301 reduce, thereby has effectively reduced the parasitic capacitance between N type trap 303 and the P type substrate 301.In imageing sensor, N type trap 303 can be coupled to the floating diffusion region of imageing sensor.Be appreciated that the parasitic capacitance between N type trap 303 and the P type substrate 301 is more little, the sensitivity of imageing sensor is also high more.The sensitivity that therefore, can further improve imageing sensor with N type trap 303 and P type source region 307 adjacent isolated grooves 323.
In addition, in certain embodiments, the edge of N type deposit doped layer 305 also can be positioned on the isolated groove 323.This isolated groove 323 makes N type deposit doped layer 305 edges and P type substrate 301 isolate.In the process of etching N type deposit doped layer 305; Isolated groove 323 between its edge and the P type substrate 301 can so that the etching stopping of N type deposit doped layer 305 on isolated groove 323, thereby avoid the damage of P type substrate 301 and the damage of the transistor that brings thus.

Especially, for imageing sensor 200, it has a plurality of pixel cells usually, follows transistor and each pixel cell all has the source.Follow transistorized drain region 409 for these sources, can have part or all of drain region 409 all to be arranged in the P type substrate 401 outside the N type trap 403 at least in part.Like this, these are positioned at N type trap 403 outer drain regions 409 can have the current potential that equates with P type substrate 401, thereby it has equal current potential each other.Thereby this can for example can share ground connection through P type substrate 401 so that under the situation that does not increase chip area, improved the effect of ground connection, and this is just avoided different pixels unit earthing potential inconsistent, thereby has further improved the performance of imageing sensor.
With reference to figure 4a, part is overlapped at least outside P type doped layer 411 with N type deposit doped layer 405 for N type trap 403, thereby makes N type trap 403 be electrically connected each other with N type deposit doped layer 405.Just need in N type trap 403, not make extra through hole draws N type trap 403 for this, thereby has reduced cost of manufacture.
