Detailed Description
As known from the background art, the performance of the current photoelectric sensor needs to be improved. The reason why the performance of a photoelectric sensor is to be improved is now analyzed in conjunction with a method of forming a photoelectric sensor.
Fig. 1 to 6 are schematic structural views corresponding to each step in a method for forming a photoelectric sensor.
Referring to fig. 1, a pixel substrate 10 is provided, including a first surface 11 and a second surface 12 opposite to each other, the pixel substrate 10 includes a photosensitive region 10P and a lead region 10N surrounding the photosensitive region 10P, the photosensitive region 10P includes pixel unit regions (not shown) arranged in an array, an isolation structure 13 is formed in the pixel substrate 10 between the pixel unit regions, and a top surface of the isolation structure 13 is exposed from the first surface 11; a dielectric layer 14 is formed on the second surface 12, and an interconnection layer 15 is formed in the dielectric layer 14 of the lead area 10N; a logic substrate is also bonded to the dielectric layer 14 of the second surface 12.
Referring to fig. 2, an opening 16 is formed through the pixel substrate 10 of the lead region 10N and the dielectric layer 14 over the interconnect layer 15, the opening 16 exposing a portion of the top of the interconnect layer 15 toward the first surface 11.
Referring to fig. 3, a pad layer 17 contacting the interconnect layer 15 is formed at the bottom of the opening 16.
Referring to fig. 4, a passivation layer 18 is formed filling the opening 16 and being located on the first surface 11, the passivation layer 18 covering the pad layer 17 and the top surface of the isolation structure 13.
Referring to fig. 5, a metal mesh 19 is formed on the passivation layer 18 on top of the isolation structure 13.
Referring to fig. 6, after forming the metal mesh 19, an interconnection trench 20 penetrating the passivation layer 18 above the pad layer 17 is formed, exposing the pad layer 17.
In the above-mentioned method for forming a photoelectric sensor, the step of forming an isolation structure generally includes: forming an isolation trench in the pixel substrate 10 between adjacent pixel cell areas; an isolation structure is formed within the isolation trench. The isolation trench is usually formed by an etching process, the isolation structure is formed in the isolation trench by a filling process, after the etching process and the filling process are performed, interface states are usually generated on the side wall of the isolation structure, the surface of the interface states can absorb negative charge electron layers in an inverted mode, and dark current of the pixel unit can be increased due to the existence of the interface states.
In order to prevent dark current caused by interface states, P-type ion implantation is typically performed on the pixel substrate before bonding of the pixel substrate to the logic substrate is achieved. By carrying out P-type ion implantation, the negative charge electron layer in the interface state can be neutralized to a certain extent, the problem of dark current caused by the interface state is correspondingly improved,
However, in the field of photosensors, the absorption thickness and optical path length of light are generally increased by increasing the thickness of the pixel substrate, thereby increasing photon detection efficiency and thus photon detection sensitivity.
With the gradual increase of the thickness of the pixel substrate, when the thickness of the pixel substrate is greater than the maximum depth of ion implantation, the side wall of the isolation structure cannot be completely surrounded by P-type ions, and when the photoelectric sensor works, the side wall of the isolation structure which is not surrounded by the P-type ions can increase the dark current of the pixel.
In addition, when the first surface is the back surface of the pixel substrate, since the front-stage device is already formed when ion implantation is performed, even if ion implantation can be performed, the implanted ions cannot be subjected to a high-temperature activation process, and the ion implantation cannot be activated to perform a corresponding function.
In order to solve the technical problems, the embodiment of the invention provides a photoelectric sensor, wherein a connecting structure is respectively contacted with an interconnection layer and a pixel substrate, a welding pad layer is contacted with the interconnection layer in a dielectric layer, and a metal grid penetrates through a passivation layer above an isolation structure and is contacted with a conductive layer, so that when the photoelectric sensor works, the metal grid can be easily electrically connected with the pixel substrate right above the connecting structure, the electrical property of the conductive layer is led out, and correspondingly, the conductive layer of the isolation structure can be connected with the negative potential by applying the negative potential to the welding pad layer, thereby being beneficial to adsorbing positive charges on the side wall of the isolation structure, correspondingly improving the interface state of the side wall of the isolation structure and reducing the dark current of a pixel unit; in addition, the embodiment of the invention can enable the conductive layer of the isolation structure to be connected with the negative potential by applying the negative potential to the bonding pad layer, so that the bonding pad layer electrically connected with the metal grid is not required to be additionally arranged on the passivation layer on the first surface, the high consistency of the bonding pad layer of the photoelectric sensor is correspondingly ensured, and the complexity of packaging test is further reduced.

In this embodiment, the step of forming the pad layer 150 includes: forming a layer of pad material (not shown) on the bottom and sidewalls of the opening 140 and the first surface 101; a portion of the pad material layer at the first surface 101 and at the bottom of the opening 140 is removed, and the remaining pad material layer at the bottom of the opening 140 is used as a pad layer 150.
Referring to fig. 12 and 13, a passivation layer 160 filling the first and second openings 141 and 142 and located on the first surface 101 is formed, the passivation layer 160 covering the pad layer 150 and the conductive layer 110.
The passivation layer 160 is used to fill the first and second openings 141 and 142 to provide a flat surface for subsequent process steps. The passivation layer 160 also protects the pad layer 150 from the subsequent process.
In this embodiment, the material of the passivation layer 160 is an insulating material, and the material of the passivation layer 160 includes one or more of silicon oxide, silicon oxynitride, and silicon nitride. As an embodiment, the passivation layer 160 is made of silicon oxide.
In this embodiment, the step of forming the passivation layer 160 includes: as shown in fig. 12, a passivation material layer 155 is formed to fill the opening 140 and is further located on the first surface 101, the passivation material layer 155 covers the pad layer 150 and the conductive layer 110, and a groove (not labeled) corresponding to the opening 140 is formed in the passivation material layer 155; as shown in fig. 12, a pattern layer 145 is formed in the groove; as shown in fig. 13, the passivation material layer 155 exposed from the pattern layer 145 is thinned; as shown in fig. 13, the graphics layer 145 is removed; as shown in fig. 13, after the pattern layer 145 is removed, the passivation material layer 155 is planarized, and the remaining passivation material layer 155 is used as the passivation layer 160.

The pattern layer 145 serves as a mask for thinning the passivation material layer 155. In this embodiment, the material of the pattern layer 145 is photoresist.
By thinning the passivation material layer 155 exposed by the pattern layer 145, a thickness difference between the passivation material layer 155 on the top surface of the pixel substrate 100 and the passivation material layer 155 in the opening 140 is reduced, and a top surface height uniformity of the passivation material layer 155 is improved, which is beneficial to a subsequent planarization process of the passivation material layer 155.
Specifically, the passivation material layer 155 exposed from the pattern layer 145 is thinned by an etching process. The etching process facilitates precise control of the reduced thickness of the passivation material layer 155.
The passivation material layer 155 is planarized to improve the top surface flatness of the passivation layer, so as to provide a flat surface for a subsequent process. As an example, the passivation material layer 155 is planarized using a chemical mechanical polishing process.

By forming the metal grid 10 in contact with the conductive layer 110 and the ground line 220 in contact with the pixel substrate 100 of the preset pixel unit area 100px, the ground line 220 is electrically connected with the metal grid 210, and accordingly, when the photoelectric sensor works, the conductive layer 110 of the isolation structure can be connected with the negative potential by applying the negative potential to the pad layer 150 through the pad layer 150, the second interconnection layer 112, the first interconnection layer 111, the connection structure 115, the pixel substrate 100 and the ground line 220 which are sequentially connected, thereby being beneficial to adsorbing positive charges on the side wall of the isolation structure, improving the interface state of the side wall of the isolation structure, and reducing dark current of the pixel unit.
In addition, compared with the mode of improving the interface state of the side wall of the isolation structure by carrying out P-type ion doping on the pixel substrate, the embodiment is also beneficial to avoiding being limited by the ion doping depth, and the absorption thickness and the optical path of light are increased by increasing the thickness of the pixel substrate 100 correspondingly, so that the photon detection efficiency of a photosensitive area is improved, and the photon detection sensitivity performance of the photoelectric sensor is improved.
