Alternatively, the distance between described some memory cells are equal, and the imaging sensing is single The distance between member is equal.
Step 2 is performed, interconnection structure and the gate stack shape are formed on the gate stack Into electrical connection, the interconnection structure includes some through holes and metal level being arranged alternately.
Specifically, the interconnection structure includes the first metal layer M1 206 from the bottom up, the 208 3 layers of two metal level M2 207 and metal layer at top (top metal), its CD can not be too Width, hides below prism, prevents from being in the light as far as possible.
The forming method of the interconnection architecture includes the deposit dielectric first on the gate stack Layer and the first patterned mask layer (not shown), using first patterned mask layer as Dielectric layer described in mask etch, to open the dielectric layer, forms opening in the dielectric layer, The etching process selects dry etching or wet etching, in an embodiment, institute Wet etching is stated from hydrofluoric acid and ammonium fluoride (HF/NH4F the cushioning liquid that) is formed is etched The hard mask layer of silica, or select CF4Or CHF3Etchant gas described in Dielectric layer, above-mentioned example is only schematical, it is not limited to methods described.
Conductive material, such as metal material are filled in said opening, to form first through hole 205, then proceed to dielectric layer and pattern, to form the first metal layer M1 206, according to It is secondary to analogize, to form second metal layer M2 207 and metal layer at top (top metal) 208 Three layers.
Alternatively, the length of some through holes described in the interconnection structure and wide critical size are less than The length of the prism and wide critical size, the length of the metal level and wide critical size are less than The length of the prism and wide critical size, to hide below prism as far as possible, prevent from being in the light.
Step 3 is performed, passivation layer 209 is formed above the interconnection structure and institute is planarized The step of stating passivation layer.
Wherein, the passivation layer 209 can be silica or silicon nitride layer etc., as long as institute State passivation film structure it is fine and close, stably, be not easily susceptible to destruction, various ions and moisture can be stopped The erosion of son, it is not limited to above-mentioned example.
As a kind of embodiment, the passivation layer 209 includes plasma enhanced silicon nitride layer PESIN layers, PETEOS layers of tetraethyl orthosilicate of plasma enhancing, SiN layer and positive silicic acid second One or more combinations in ester TEOS, layer.

Alternatively, the deposition process of the passivation layer can select chemical vapor deposition (CVD) The low pressure of the formation such as method, physical vapour deposition (PVD) (PVD) method or ald (ALD) method Chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD), laser ablation deposition (LAD) and selective epitaxy growth (SEG) In one kind.Preferred chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method in the present invention.
Then the passivation layer is planarized, with the surface planarized, prevents ultraviolet Light prism incidence light path difference leads to not focus on floating boom (Floating gate poly) above.
Step 4 is performed, prism 105, the prism 105 are formed in the top of the interconnection structure Lower section also includes filter coating.
Alternatively, the lower section of prism 105 is also formed with ultraviolet filter film.In the present invention If the flash memory can also wipe the letter of the inside without electrically erasable by ultraviolet light (UV) Breath.Electronics inside floating boom (Floating gate), can be with after the energy of ultraviolet light is obtained Tunneling oxide (tunnel oxide) or ONO potential barrier are crossed in transition.
Alternatively, it is used as ultraviolet light using flash memory (Flash) or EEPROM Imaging sensor, FEOL is constant, the upper microprism technique of last part technology collocation, you can realize Function.Operation principle:All storage positions (bit) of flash memory (flash) are all injected electricity first Son becomes to program (program) state.According to the UV light time, intensity is bigger, corresponding sudden strain of a muscle Depositing a threshold voltage (flash bit VT) reduces more, and flash memory (flash) has decoding (decoder) Region, it can be determined that go out this position of storage position (bit) in an array, and threshold value electricity Press the power of (VT), you can draw ultraviolet light image.Because flash memory (flash) is non-waves Hair property memory, therefore this image can be retained for a long time.This is that have image taking first Flash memory (flash) storage chip of function.
Segment process totally keeps constant, design layout before and after flash memory (flash) in the present invention (layout) it is noted that equidistantly to prevent anamorphose between storage bit.Back segment is general It is three layers of the first metal layer M1, second metal layer M2 and metal layer at top (top metal), CD can not be too wide, hides as far as possible below prism, backstop light.Last poly- ultraviolet light prism is set Square is counted into, to absorb more light as far as possible.After metal layer at top (Top metal) Passivation layer (passivation) layer needs to planarize (CMP), to prevent ultraviolet light prism incidence Light path difference leads to not focus on floating boom (Floating gate poly) above.Last rib Technique used in mirror is with traditional CIS imaging sensors.It is furnished with ultraviolet below prism Ultraviolet filter film (color filter), only retains ultraviolet.With ultraviolet image sensing function Storage chip just carry out, be fitted on inside camera lens i.e. usable.
So far the key step of the preparation method of the present invention is completed, for the system of complete device Other intermediate steps or subsequent step are also needed, is repeated no more herein.
Flash memory (flash) memory of the present invention usually closes front shutter, unglazed to enter, With general memory and indistinction.When needing to use, first flash memory (flash) data are exported, Then all storage positions (bit) are all placed in programming the state of (program), carry out ultraviolet figure As shooting, the flash memories can only once be shot, after data are exported, and could be clapped Take the photograph second.
Flash memories of the present invention are the flash memories (flash) first with ultraviolet image shoot function Storage chip, has the advantages that non-volatile, and image information will not lose after power-off, and very Good is combined with flash memory (flash) technique.
