After forming N type extrinsic region 42, at the SiO that forms on the P type epitaxial loayer 5 about thick 3 μ m 2Film 43.After this, as shown in Figure 6A, grind the back side of P type Si substrate 3, make that the thickness of semiconductor substrate 2 is about 100 μ m.In addition, the thickness that also can prepare semiconductor substrate 2 in advance is the thin P type Si substrate 3 about 100 μ m, forms P on this P type Si substrate 3 + Type epitaxial loayer 4 and P type epitaxial loayer 5.In this case, can save the time at the back side of grinding P type Si substrate 3.
After the back side of having ground P type Si substrate 3, at SiO 2Form resist figure (not shown) by photoetching process on the film 43, after this, the resist figure as mask, is utilized reactive ion etching (RIE) etching SiO 2Film 43.Then, remove the resist figure.Then, shown in Fig. 6 B, the SiO of figure will be formed 2 Film 43 utilizes reactive ion etching or wet etching at thickness direction etching semiconductor substrate 2 as mask, forms groove 2a.At this, the control etching stops its top that arrives P type Si substrate 3.
Etching shown in Fig. 6 C, utilizes the angle-tilt ion injection method after the top of P type Si substrate 3, the p type impurities such as inwall injection boron to groove 2a one side form raceway groove and stop zone 11.
After forming raceway groove termination zone 11, shown in Fig. 7 A, with SiO 2Film 43 utilizes reactive ion etching or wet etch etches P type Si substrate 3 as mask, and groove 2a is connected.
Make after the groove 2a perforation, shown in Fig. 7 B, utilize the angle-tilt ion injection method, inwall to the groove 2a relative with the inwall that forms raceway groove termination zone 11 injects N type impurity, in P type epitaxial loayer 5, form N type extrinsic region 9, the side of one side and groove 2a adjacency, and the lower surface of end and P + Type epitaxial loayer 4 adjacency; In P type Si substrate 3, form charge storage region 13, the side of one side and groove 2a adjacency, and upper surface and P simultaneously +Type epitaxial loayer 4 adjacency.
After this, make the p type impurity that constitutes raceway groove and stop zone 11, the N type diffusion of impurities that constitutes N type extrinsic region 9 and charge storage region 13 by annealing.In addition, in Fig. 7 B, show the situation of injecting N type impurity from the surface of semiconductor substrate 2 and both sides, the back side and forming N type extrinsic region 9 and charge storage region 13, but also can only inject N type impurity, form N type extrinsic region 9 and charge storage region 13 from the face side of semiconductor substrate 2 and a side of rear side.
Then, the inwall of thermal oxidation groove 2a shown in Fig. 7 C, forms gate insulating film 6, after this, for example inserts electric conducting materials such as polysilicon in the medial region of gate insulating film 6, forms gate electrode 7.After forming gate electrode 7, grind the surface and the back side of (CMP) grinding semiconductor substrate 2 by mechanochemistry.In addition, remove SiO by this operation 2Film 43.
After the surface and the back side of having ground semiconductor substrate 2, utilize photoetching process to form resist figure (not shown) in the rear side of semiconductor substrate 2, with the resist figure as mask, utilize ion implantation to inject N type impurity to the bottom of P type Si substrate 3, shown in Fig. 8 A, form FD zone 14 in the bottom of P type Si substrate 3.Then, make the N type diffusion of impurities that constitutes FD zone 14 by annealing.
After forming FD zone 14, remove the resist figure, after this, shown in Fig. 8 B, at the rear side formation signal processing part 20 of P type Si substrate 3.In addition, from the efficient aspect, preferably, use and the wiring pad identical materials (for example aluminium) that in signal processing part 20, forms, form gate electrode 21a by the operation identical, but also can use polysilicon, form gate electrode 21a by the operation different with the wiring pad with the wiring pad.
At last, shown in Fig. 8 C, on N type extrinsic region 9, utilize photoetching process to form colour filter 15, and then on colour filter 15, form lenticule 16.By like this, produce cmos image sensor shown in Figure 11.
In the present embodiment, as shown in Figure 1, owing to form signal processing part 20 in the rear side of semiconductor substrate 2, therefore, the light that incides the photodiode 10 that forms in semiconductor substrate 2 can not interfered the generations such as wiring of signal processing part 20.Like this, even also can arrive photodiode 10 for the light of photodiode 10 oblique incidences, its result can improve the incident efficient of elder generation to first electric diode 10.
At this, forming on the rear side of semiconductor substrate 2 under the situation of signal processing part 20, though need transmit signal charge to signal processing part 20 from N type extrinsic region 9, but, in the present embodiment, owing to be formed with charge storage region 13 9 times at N type extrinsic region, and in semiconductor substrate 2, form gate electrode 7, therefore the signal charge that is stored in the N type extrinsic region 9 can be sent to signal processing part 20.
In the present embodiment, owing to form signal processing part 20, therefore can increase the zone of photodiode 10 in the plane of cmos image sensor in the rear side of semiconductor substrate 2.Therefore, can improve the incident efficient of light more to photodiode 10.In addition, because lenticule 16 can be omitted in the zone (minimizing inactive area) that can increase photodiode 10 therefore on colour filter 15.
In the present embodiment, as shown in Figure 3, form at the length direction of groove 2a and to stop zone 11 with gate insulating film 6 raceway groove arranged side by side and carry out to suppress the decline of the mechanical strength of semiconductor substrate 2 under the situation that the element between the pixel P separates.Promptly, though gate insulating film 6 and gate electrode 7 form in the groove 2a that connects semiconductor substrate 2, but, because very narrow between the pixel P on the length direction of groove 2a, therefore, arranging under the situation of groove 2a along the length direction of groove 2a, worrying that the mechanical strength of semiconductor substrate 2 descends.
Relative therewith, form at the length direction of groove 2a and to stop zone 11 with gate insulating film 6 raceway groove arranged side by side and carry out under the situation that the element between the pixel P separates, the shared ratio of the groove 2a relative with semiconductor substrate 2 has reduced.Therefore, can suppress the decline of the mechanical strength of semiconductor substrate 2.
In addition, the present invention is not limited to the record content of above-mentioned execution mode, and its structure and material, each configuration of components etc. under the scope that does not break away from spirit of the present invention, can be carried out suitable change.For example, in the above-described embodiment,,, also can be ccd image sensor though cmos image sensor 1 is illustrated as solid camera head.
In the above-described embodiment, though the 1st extrinsic region is described as N type extrinsic region 9, the 1st extrinsic region also can be the zone different with N type extrinsic region 9.That is, the 1st extrinsic region also can be the N type extrinsic region that directly or indirectly transmits signal charge from N type extrinsic region 9.
In the above-described embodiment, though the 2nd extrinsic region is described as charge storage region 13, but, signal charge be not sent under the situation in FD zone 14 from N type extrinsic region 9 by gate electrode 7 via charge storage region 13, also can be with the 2nd extrinsic region as FD zone 14.
(the 2nd execution mode)
