Method for making image sensor and imageing sensor
Technical field
The present invention relates to field of semiconductor manufacture, more particularly, the imageing sensor that the present invention relates to a kind of method for making image sensor and process thus.
Background technology
Imageing sensor is an important component part of forming digital camera.According to the difference of element, can be divided into two big types of CCD (Charge Coupled Device, charge coupled cell) and CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor, metal oxide semiconductor device).
In image sensor design and manufacture process, need on silicon chip, make pixel cell, these dot structures must effectively be isolated with device or the zone around it, for example isolate with dot structure on every side.
And; In fact, if do not isolate, then imageing sensor forms crosstalk signal (electronics) easily between two dot structure districts; So; In the prior art, generally on the shallow trench zone around the diode, make mask aperture, and carry out that ion injects so that isolate adjacent active area in the bottom.This isolation can form the injection isolated area shape of one ' four sides wall ' center on.
Fig. 1 schematically shows the sketch map of the injection isolated area between the adjacent pixel regions of imageing sensor.As shown in Figure 1; In the prior art, being used for the injection isolated area 2 that prevents electric crosstalk signal between the neighbor structural area is that light sensitive diode (not shown) in forming (photoetching and etching) each pixel region 1 is afterwards through utilizing an additional mask to form.Wherein, forms at last owing to inject isolated area 2, thus inject isolated area 2 maybe and each pixel region 1 between the regional (not shown) of shallow trench overlap.
But; Method for making image sensor in prior art; Need an additional mask to form the injection isolated area between the adjacent pixel regions; Increase the manufacturing cost of imageing sensor thus, and increased the processing step that isolated area is injected in independent manufacturing, increased process complexity thus.
So, can omit the method for making image sensor that the additional mask that increases in order to form the injection isolated area between the adjacent pixel regions reduces the manufacturing cost of imageing sensor and reduces process complexity thereby hope can provide a kind of.
