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, generates corresponding image charge signal for responding to light intensity change; Transfering transistor 202, for transition diagram charge signal; And transistor 204 is followed in source, for based on shifted image charge signal formation voltage signal, wherein, it is junction field effect transistors that transistor 204 is followed in this source.
It should be noted that, in some instances, the multiple pixel cells in pel array can have a source and follow transistor 204, and such as adjacent 2,4 or more pixel cells can share a source and follow transistor 204 with output voltage signal.In addition, in the present embodiment, transistor 204 is followed in source is p type field effect transistors.It will be understood by those skilled in the art that in other examples, source is followed transistor 204 and also be can be n type field effect transistor.
Particularly, photodiode 201 is coupled to reference potential line VSS, such as or negative supply current potential, and between the source electrode of transfering transistor 202, forms corresponding image charge signal for responding to light intensity change.The grid that transistor 204 is followed in drain electrode and the source of transfering transistor 202 is connected, the grid of this transfering transistor 202 is for receiving transfer control signal TX, under the control of transfer control signal TX, the corresponding conducting of transfering transistor 202 or shutoff, thus the image charge signal making photodiode 201 respond to is read out to the floating diffusion region of the drain electrode being coupled in this transfering transistor 202, and by this floating diffusion region memory image charge signal.
Source is followed transistor 204 and is coupled between reference potential line VSS and bias current sources 205, its drain electrode is coupled to reference potential line VSS, its source electrode is coupled to this bias current sources 205 and for output voltage signal, its grid is coupled to the drain electrode of transfering transistor 202, namely floating diffusion region is couple to, to obtain the image charge signal that transfering transistor 202 shifts.Bias current sources 205 biased under, the voltage follow that transistor 204 source electrode is followed in source image charge signal change that its grid obtains and changes, and its voltage gain is close to 1.In one embodiment, the source electrode that transistor 204 is followed in source is couple to bit line (not shown) further by row selecting transistor (not shown), and this voltage signal is supplied to the signal processing circuit of imageing sensor.
In one embodiment, this imageing sensor also comprises reset transistor 203, and the drain electrode of this reset transistor 203 is for receiving reset signal RSG, and its source electrode is couple to the grid that transistor 204 is followed in the drain electrode of transfering transistor 202 and source.The grid of this reset transistor 203 for receiving reseting controling signal RST, under the control of this reseting controling signal RST, the corresponding conducting of reset transistor 203 or shutoff, thus the grid of following transistor 204 to source provides reset signal.In this embodiment, transfering transistor 202 and reset transistor 203 are nmos pass transistor, are appreciated that in other examples, transfering transistor 202 and reset transistor 203 also can adopt the transistor of other types, such as PMOS transistor or technotron.
Substitute surperficial channel MOS transistor and follow transistor 204 owing to have employed junction field effect transistor as source, the charge carrier which avoid in conducting channel is captured at random because of the interfacial state of oxide layer-Semiconductor substrate interface or is discharged, thus the flicker noise effectively reduced in the voltage signal of output, and then improve the image quality of imageing sensor 200.
After reset capacitance 213 and image electric capacity 211 store the electric charge corresponding to reset signal and image charge signal respectively, amplifying unit 215 amplifies the voltage difference on these two electric capacity, and the output voltage through amplifying is supplied to follow-up treatment circuit.
An example 300 of transistor is followed in the source that Fig. 3 a shows imageing sensor 200 in Fig. 2, and wherein transistor is followed in this source is p type field effect transistor.It should be understood by one skilled in the art that its operation principle is equally applicable to source and follows the situation that transistor is n type field effect transistor.
As shown in Figure 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 surface, and is positioned in N-type trap 303 at least partly;
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, be electrically connected with P type drain region 309 to make P type source region 307, and P type source region 307 is electrically connected with P type drain region 309, and between P type doped layer 311 and N-type trap 303, and form PN junction respectively between this P type doped layer 311 and N-type deposit doped layer 305.
Particularly, P type substrate 301 can be the semiconductor wafer of P type doping, or the silicon-on-insulator (SOI) of P type doping, or the P type trap zone in the semiconductor wafer of N-type doping, or other similar substrates or well region.
P type source region 307 is all arranged in N-type trap 303.This N-type trap 303 makes P type source region 307 and P type substrate 301 mutually isolated.Because source region 307 is for output voltage signal, it may have higher current potential, and P type substrate 301 is couple to reference potential line usually, such as.Therefore, substrate break-through can be avoided, to ensure that the normal work of transistor is followed in source with P type substrate 301 is mutually isolated in source region 307.
According to the difference of specific embodiment, this P type drain region 309 all can be arranged in the P type substrate 301 outside N-type trap 303; Or be all arranged in N-type trap 303; Or a part is positioned at N-type trap 303, and another part is arranged in the P type substrate 301 outside N-type trap 303.In the example 300 shown in Fig. 3 a, P type drain region 309 is all arranged in N-type trap 303, and thus itself and P type source region 307 are electrically connected to each other by the P type doped layer 311 in N-type trap 303.In actual applications, this P type source region 307 and P type drain region 309 partly overlap (overlap) to realize electrical connection therebetween mutually with P type doped layer 311 respectively.Corresponding with P type doped layer 311, N-type deposit doped layer 305 also can be positioned in 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 is all positioned at the Butut of N-type trap 303.
P type doped layer 311 between N-type trap 303 and N-type deposit doped layer 305, and is electrically connected P type source region 307 and P type drain region 309.Because P type doped layer 311 is arranged in N-type trap 303 at least partly, thus this P type doped layer 311 contacts with N-type trap 303, thus near its contact interface, define a PN junction of technotron.In addition, P type doped layer 311 also contacts with each other at least partly with the N-type deposit doped layer 305 be located thereon, thus near its contact interface, define another PN junction of technotron.This makes N-type trap 303 and N-type deposit doped layer 305 act as the grid that transistor is followed in this source, and the region between two PN junctions is the conducting channel district that transistor 300 is followed in source.When transistor is followed in source, N-type deposit doped layer 305 (and N-type trap 303) causes the change width of the knot space charge region of these two PN junctions from the different meetings of the voltage difference between source region 307 and drain region 309, namely change the conducting channel thickness of technotron, and then change the size of channel current.It should be noted that, because P type doped layer 311 adopts identical material with N-type deposit doped layer 305, be namely made up of silicon, thus the interface state defects of its contact-making surface position is far fewer than the interface state defects of oxide layer-substrate interface.Because channel current is in the P type doped layer 311 away from P type substrate 301 surface, it can not be subject to the interfacial state effect of P type substrate 301 surface oxide layers-substrate interface substantially, thus greatly reduce the probability that interface state defects captures at random or discharge charge carrier, and then the flicker noise in transistor output voltage signal is followed in the source that effectively reduces.
In certain embodiments, electrical contact between N-type deposit doped layer 305 and P type doped layer 311 can by removing the dielectric layer 304 on P type substrate 301 surface, such as oxide layer, realize, that is: P type substrate 301 surface is formed with layer of oxide layer usually, the oxide layer portion above P type doped layer 311 can be removed to be exposed from P type substrate 301 surface by this P type doped layer 311; Afterwards, then the polysilicon that deposit is such as adulterated in P type substrate 301 or amorphous silicon to form this N-type deposit doped layer 305.This dielectric layer 304 can be previously formed in P type substrate 301 surface.Due to the isolation of dielectric layer 304, N-type deposit doped layer 305 only contacts with P type doped layer 311 and forms PN junction, and can not with P type source region 307 and drain region 309 electrical contact of P type.In some instances, the polysilicon layer of doping or amorphous silicon layer can adulterate to this polysilicon or amorphous silicon in the lump when being deposited, in the reaction cavity of deposit, namely add the gas with Doped ions.This does not just need to adulterate in the mode of ion implantation to form N-type deposit doped layer 305 again, and this can reduce primary ions and inject, thus reduces the cost of manufacture of imageing sensor.To be appreciated that at some in other example, N-type deposit doped layer 305 also can be formed by following manner: first depositing polysilicon or amorphous silicon, then the polysilicon of institute's deposit or amorphous silicon are adulterated, such as, with ion implantation or diffusion way doping.
In addition, N-type deposit doped layer 305 can adopt such as dry etching to control, and its profile is easy to control, and therefore adopts imageing sensor 300 reliability 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 dielectric layer 304.This dielectric layer 304 makes N-type deposit doped layer 305 edge and P type substrate 301 isolate.In the process of etching N type deposit doped layer 305, dielectric layer 304 between its edge and P type substrate 301 can make the etching stopping of N-type deposit doped layer 305 on dielectric layer 304, thus the transistor damage avoided the damage of P type substrate 301 and bring 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 length, such as 5 nanometers, 10 nanometers, 50 nanometers, etc.
In some instances, N-type trap 303 can be divided overlapped in P type doped layer 311 outside with N-type deposit doped layer 305, thus N-type trap 303 and N-type deposit doped layer 305 are electrically connected to each other.This does not just need to make extra through hole or other structures in N-type trap 303 to draw N-type trap 303, thus reduces cost of manufacture.Be appreciated that in other examples, N-type trap 303 also can not directly contact mutually with N-type deposit doped layer 305, but is electrically connected by the through hole in dielectric layer 304.
Another example of transistor is followed in the source that Fig. 3 b shows imageing sensor 200 in Fig. 2.In fig 3b, also show the photodiode of imageing sensor 200, it is made up of P type substrate 301 and the N-type doped region 321 be positioned at outside N-type trap 303.
As shown in Figure 3 b, also comprise isolated groove 323 in P type substrate 301, it is positioned at outside N-type trap 303, namely between N-type doped region 321 and N-type trap 303.Isolated groove 323 adopts insulating material, and such as silica, silicon nitride are formed, and thus have good electric isolation effect.Isolated groove 323 in P type substrate 301 makes N-type doped region 321 and N-type trap 303 mutually isolated, is short-circuited (i.e. break-through) and the operation of effect diagram image-position sensor between its grid can effectively avoiding the negative pole of photodiode and source to follow transistor.Can find out, inject owing to decreasing primary ions, the profile of conducting channel is easy to control, and too much can not cause darker junction depth due to annealing times.Therefore, this imageing sensor is without the need to making darker isolation channel to isolate adjacent area in the P type substrate 301 outside conducting channel, namely isolated groove 323 can adopt fleet plough groove isolation structure (Shallow Trench Isolation), its chip area taken is relatively little, thus effectively can reduce the area of imageing sensor.
In a preferred embodiment, isolated groove 323 can with P type source region 307 and/or N-type doped region 321 adjacent, this can reduce the area of imageing sensor further, thus improve chip integration.Especially, in the example shown in Fig. 3 b, isolated groove 323 and N-type trap 303 and P type source region 307 adjacent, this makes N-type trap 303 reduce with the contact area of P type substrate 301, thus effectively reduces the parasitic capacitance between N-type trap 303 and P type substrate 301.In the image 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 P type substrate 301 is less, the sensitivity of imageing sensor is also higher.Therefore, the sensitivity of imageing sensor can be improved further with the adjacent isolated groove 323 of N-type trap 303 and P type source region 307.
In addition, in certain embodiments, the edge of N-type deposit doped layer 305 also can be positioned on isolated groove 323.This isolated groove 323 makes N-type deposit doped layer 305 edge and P type substrate 301 isolate.In the process of etching N type deposit doped layer 305, isolated groove 323 between its edge and P type substrate 301 can make the etching stopping of N-type deposit doped layer 305 on isolated groove 323, thus the transistor damage avoided the damage of P type substrate 301 and bring thus.
Another example 400 of transistor is followed in the source that Fig. 4 a and Fig. 4 b shows imageing sensor 200 in Fig. 2.Wherein, Fig. 4 b is that in Fig. 4 a, the generalized section of transistor along AA ' direction is followed in source.
As shown in Fig. 4 a and Fig. 4 b, this source is followed transistor and is had and follow structure like transistor-like with the source in Fig. 3 a.But the drain region 409 that transistor is followed in this source is arranged in the P type substrate 401 outside N-type trap 403, and this makes P type impure drain region 409 be electrically connected with P type substrate 401.In actual applications, this drain region 409 is all coupled to reference potential line with P type substrate 401, such as, does not therefore have voltage difference therebetween, thus can not form electric current between drain region 409 and P type substrate 401.
Correspondingly, P type doped layer 411 extends in P type substrate 401 by N-type trap 403 at least in part, is jointly electrically connected source region 407 and drain region 409 to make this P type substrate 401 and P type doped layer 411.Like this, when transistor turns is followed in this source, channel current can flow to source region 407 by drain region 409 through this P type substrate 401 and P type doped layer 411.
Especially, for imageing sensor 200, it has multiple pixel cell usually, and each pixel cell all has source follows transistor.These sources are followed to the drain region 409 of transistor, part or all of drain region 409 can be had to be arranged in P type substrate 401 outside N-type trap 403 all at least in part.Like this, these drain regions 409 be positioned at outside N-type trap 403 can have the current potential equal with P type substrate 401, thus it has equal current potential each other.Thus, this can make the effect that improve ground connection when not increasing chip area, such as, can carry out shared ground connection by P type substrate 401, and this is just avoided different pixels unit earthing potential inconsistent, thus further increases the performance of imageing sensor.
With reference to figure 4a, N-type trap 403 is outer overlapped at least partly at P type doped layer 411 with N-type deposit doped layer 405, thus N-type trap 403 and N-type deposit doped layer 405 are electrically connected to each other.This just does not need in N-type trap 403, to make extra through hole to draw N-type trap 403, thus reduces cost of manufacture.
Fig. 5 a shows the manufacture method 500 of transistor according to an embodiment of the invention.
As shown in Figure 5 a, this manufacture method 500 comprises:
Perform step S501, provide the first conductivity type substrate, in this first conductivity type substrate, doping is formed with the second conductive type of trap;

Be appreciated that transistor is followed in the source that the manufacture method 500 of this transistor may be used in making image transducer.In actual applications, the technique of making image transducer also comprises and forms photodiode in image sensor pixel cells and other transistors, and such as the step of transfering transistor, reset transistor, row selecting transistor, does not repeat them here.
In some instances, the edge of the second conduction type deposit doped layer is positioned on the dielectric layer on the first conductivity type substrate surface, or is arranged on the isolated groove of the first conductivity type substrate.In the process of etching second conduction type deposit doped layer, dielectric layer between its edge and the first conductivity type substrate or isolated groove can make the etching self-stopping technology of the second conduction type deposit doped layer on dielectric layer or isolated groove, thus the transistor damage avoided the etching injury of the first conductivity type substrate and bring thus.
In some instances, before step S505, also comprise: form dielectric layer on the first conductivity type substrate surface and/or form isolated groove in the first conductivity type substrate; And the step forming the second conduction type deposit doped layer comprises further: partial etching dielectric layer, expose at least partly to make the first conduction type doped layer; The polysilicon of deposit doping on the first conduction type doped layer exposed or amorphous silicon are to form the second conduction type deposit doped layer; And partial etching second conduction type deposit doped layer the second conduction type deposit doped layer edge be etched is positioned on dielectric layer and/or on isolated groove.
In one embodiment, the step of partial etching dielectric layer comprises further: partial etching dielectric layer exposes at least partly to make the first conduction type doped layer and the second conductive type of trap.Thus, need deposit is adulterated on the first conduction type doped layer exposed and the second conductive type of trap polysilicon or amorphous silicon to form the second conduction type deposit doped layer.The the second conduction type electrode layer be formed directly on the second conductive type of trap can with the second conductive type of trap electrical contact under it, thus this second conductive type of trap electricity can be drawn, and without the need to making through hole or other electric connection structures to draw this second conductive type of trap.
Fig. 5 b to Fig. 5 e shows the generalized section of the manufacture method 500 of Fig. 5 a.Wherein, the transistor that this manufacture method 500 is formed is p type field effect transistor.It should be understood by one skilled in the art that its operation principle is equally applicable to the situation that transistor is n type field effect transistor.Next, with reference to figure 5a to Fig. 5 e, an embodiment of the manufacture method 500 of this transistor for making image transducer is described in detail.
As shown in Figure 5 b, provide P type substrate 501, in this P type substrate 501, be formed with photodiode region 502 and N-type trap 503.This N-type trap 503 is separated from each other by P type substrate 501 therebetween with photodiode region 502.
Afterwards, as shown in Figure 5 c, form P type doped layer 511, it is arranged in N-type trap 503 at least partly.In fig. 5 c, P type doped layer 511 is all arranged in N-type trap 503.In addition, N-type trap 503 and constitute a PN junction of transistor between P type doped layer 511 wherein.At some in other embodiment, P type doped layer 511 also can be positioned partially in P type substrate 501, and is positioned partially in N-type trap 503.It should be noted that, the step forming P type doped layer 511 and N-type trap 503 adopts ion implantation to realize usually, after each ion implantation, also needs to carry out annealing in process to this P type substrate 501, such as short annealing process, also reduces the lattice defect injecting and cause with active ions.
Then, dielectric layer 504 is formed on P type substrate 501 surface.This dielectric layer 504 is such as silica or other dielectric materials, can form this dielectric layer 504 by such as oxidation technology or depositing technics.Alternatively, in some instances, can also form isolated groove (not shown) in P type substrate 501, this isolated groove is usually located at outside N-type trap 511.
Then, as fig 5d, form N-type deposit doped layer 505, it is outer and be positioned in N-type trap 503 at least partly, to make to form PN junction between the P type doped layer 511 in N-type deposit doped layer 505 and N-type trap 503 that it is positioned at P type substrate 501 surface.
Particularly, this N-type deposit doped layer 505 can be formed by following step: first, partial etching dielectric layer 504, and to form window in P type substrate 501, this window makes P type doped layer 511 expose at least partly; Then, the polysilicon that deposit is adulterated on the P type doped layer 511 exposed or amorphous silicon are to form N-type deposit doped layer 505; Afterwards, partial etching N-type deposit doped layer 505 also makes N-type deposit doped layer 505 edge be positioned on dielectric layer 504, or make the edge of N-type deposit doped layer 505 be positioned on isolated groove, namely make the edge of this N-type deposit doped layer 505 not be located immediately in P type substrate 501.In some instances, can chemical vapor deposition method depositing polysilicon or amorphous silicon be passed through, and while this polysilicon of deposit or amorphous silicon doped p-type ion, such as phosphorus or arsenic ion, to form polysilicon or the amorphous silicon of doping.In other examples, can pass through chemical vapor deposition method depositing polysilicon or amorphous silicon, afterwards, doped p-type ion in the polysilicon or amorphous silicon of institute's deposit, such as, adulterated by the mode of diffusion or ion implantation.Also having in some examples, first can pass through chemical vapor deposition method depositing polysilicon or amorphous silicon, then the polysilicon of partial etching institute deposit or amorphous silicon, carried out ion implantation to the polysilicon be etched or amorphous silicon more afterwards and carrys out impurity ion before or after formation source region and drain region.
In a preferred embodiment, N-type deposit doped layer 505 is also formed directly in N-type trap 503.Correspondingly, dielectric layer 504 is etched to and P type doped layer 511 and N-type trap 503 is exposed at least partly, and the polysilicon that deposit is adulterated on the P type doped layer 511 exposed and N-type trap 503 or amorphous silicon are to form N-type deposit doped layer.
Can find out, by this dielectric layer window, the polysilicon of institute's deposit directly can contact with the P type doped layer 511 under it, thus forms the PN junction of junction field effect transistor conducting channel opposite side.This PN junction limits the conducting channel of this junction field effect transistor jointly together with the PN junction between P type doped layer 511 and N-type trap 503, and N-type trap 503 and N-type deposit doped layer 505 are then jointly as two grids of junction field effect transistor.
Then, as depicted in fig. 5e, in N-type trap 503, form P type source region 507 and P type drain region 509, and this P type source region 507 and P type drain region 509 are electrically connected to each other.In the example of Fig. 5 e, P type source region 507 is electrically connected by P type doped layer 511 therebetween with P type drain region 509.Be appreciated that, in certain embodiments, P type drain region 509 also can be formed in the P type substrate 501 outside N-type trap 503, this P type drain region 509 can be electrically connected to N-type trap 503 by the P type substrate 501 between itself and N-type trap 503, and is further advanced by P type doped layer 511 and is electrically connected to P type source region 507.
Can find out, because this N-type deposit doped layer 505 can be formed by depositing technics, and without the need to being formed in P type substrate 501 by ion implantation mode.This can reduce primary ions and inject and annealing in process, thus reduces the cost of manufacture of transistor.In addition, inject owing to decreasing primary ions, the profile of conducting channel is easy to control, and too much can not cause darker junction depth due to annealing times.Therefore, this junction field effect transistor is without the need to making darker isolation channel to isolate adjacent area in the P type substrate 501 outside conducting channel, such as between N-type trap 503 and photodiode region 502, this can reduce manufacture craft difficulty, and reduces the area of transistor.
