The image sensor includes two types, namely a CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) image sensor and a CCD (Charged Coupled Device) image sensor, and can be widely applied to digital cameras, mobile phones, medical devices, automobiles and other application occasions.
In a CMOS Image Sensor (CIS), a photosensitive pixel array and a peripheral logic circuit system are provided, the photosensitive pixel array is used to collect photoelectric signal information of an image, external light irradiates on the pixel array, a photoelectric effect occurs, and corresponding charges are generated in pixel units to collect image signals, as shown in fig. 1, the photosensitive pixel array generally includes a photodiode 101, a charge transfer gate 102, a reset transistor 103, a source follower transistor 104, and a floating diffusion active region FD, and the peripheral logic circuit system includes a peripheral logic field effect transistor to control and read the photosensitive pixel array.
CIS has become ubiquitous in our daily lives, and with the advent of the internet of things era, it has become a trend of development of CIS to promote the reduction of pixel pitches to smaller sizes and to achieve greater integration through pixel-level interconnections. However, as the manufacturing process of the CIS is miniaturized, the Gate dielectric layer of the charge transfer Gate in the CIS is thinner, the floating diffusion active region is formed shallower, and the doping amount is higher, and as shown in fig. 2, in order to prevent electrons from flowing into the photodiode 101 under a dark condition during the exposure period of the CIS, the Gate bias of the charge transfer Gate 102 is negative, so that the Gate of the charge transfer Gate 102 and the Drain thereof, i.e., the floating diffusion active region FD, form a high potential difference, which causes a depletion region on the surface of the overlapping region of the Gate and the Drain of the charge transfer Gate 102, positive and negative charge carriers respectively flow to the Drain and the substrate under the action of a strong electric field, thereby causing a Leakage current between the Drain and the Gate, causing a Gate-Induced Leakage (GIDL) phenomenon, which causes a problem of image CIS white-point bad pixels, and thus reducing the image quality of the CIS.

Specifically, in this structure, when the image sensor is during exposure, the gate edge of the charge transfer gate 102 and the drain end thereof, that is, the floating diffusion active region FD, constitute a high potential difference, as in the B region in fig. 3. By setting the edge thickness of the gate dielectric layer 112 at one end of the charge transfer gate 102 close to the floating diffusion active region FD to be greater than the center thickness of the gate dielectric layer 112, the electric field intensity of the floating diffusion active region FD at one side close to the channel of the charge transfer gate 102 can be effectively reduced, thereby improving the GIDL leakage problem of the pixel field effect transistor, improving the defect of a CIS image white point bad pixel, and further improving the image quality of the CIS.
As an example, the gate dielectric layer 112 of the charge transfer gate 102 may include one or a combination of a silicon dioxide layer, a hafnium oxide layer, an aluminum oxide layer, a tantalum oxide layer, and a silicon oxynitride layer. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the gate dielectric layer 112 is a silicon dioxide layer, but is not limited thereto.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 6, an oxidation layer, for example, an oxidation layer with a thickness of 2nm, is formed on the surface of the obtained initial gate structure and the surrounding active region by using a high temperature oxidation process, for example, 900 ℃, so that a gate dielectric layer with a thin middle and a thick edge, that is, a gate dielectric layer with an edge region 507 and a central region 506, can be obtained based on the process.

For example, the central region is a High-k film, such as SiN, hfO, or SiN 2 、Al 2 O 3 Layers, etc.; the edge region is a Low-k film, which may be SiO 2 Layer to mitigate GIDL. The structure of the gate dielectric layer in this example can be obtained based on the above process, and of course, other process methods in the art can also be used.
