Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide the title solid image pick-up element casting almost no reflection on the surface of an electrode wiring thereby developing no defective smear. CONSTITUTION:An electrode material 6 comprising Al or Al-Si is formed on the whole surface of a silicon substrate 1 and then a titanium metal is sputtered in nitride gas atmosphere so as to form a reflection preventive film 21 comprizing titanium nitride on the electrode wiring material 6. Through these procedures, the incoming beams on the surface of the electrode wiring are almost prevented from being reflected at all by the reflection preventive film so that almost no reflecting beams may come into the photodetector thereby enabling the defective smear to be avoided.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] By the way, the conventional solid-state image sensing device described above uses Al or Al as the material for the electrode wiring 6.
-Si (1%) is used and is formed by sputtering under conditions of an output of 10 kW or more and a vacuum of 10 mm Torr or less, but since these are metals with high reflectance,
Most of the light incident on the electrode wiring 6 through the transparent protective film 7 is reflected. In addition, the electrode wiring 6 is a collection of microcrystals, and its surface is not flat, and the underlying surface before the electrode wiring is formed has unevenness formed by the previous manufacturing process of the electrode 5, etc. The shape of the upper surface of the electrode wiring 6 also inherits the unevenness. Therefore, the reflected light on the surface of the electrode wiring becomes diffusely reflected, and a part of it enters the light receiving section 2. The light incident on the light receiving section 2 due to this diffused reflection is a light beam other than the signal light beam, and therefore causes smear failure. Further, the same can be said of a color solid-state image sensor in which cyan, magenta, yellow, and green color filters are formed above the light receiving section 2.

Similar to FIG. 7A, FIG. 1A shows a state in which an electrode wiring material 6 of Al or Al-Si (1%) is formed over the entire surface of a silicon substrate 1. As shown in FIG. From this state, titanium metal is then sputtered in a nitrogen gas atmosphere to form an antireflection film 21 of titanium nitride on the electrode wiring material 6 as shown in FIG. 1(b). Next, in FIG. 1C, similarly to FIG. 7B, after applying a positive resist 8, the light receiving section 2 and a part of the field section 9 are selectively exposed using a glass mask as shown by the arrow. FIG. 1(d) shows the state after the resist 8 phenomenon is performed. Figure 1(e)

Since the anti-reflection film of titanium nitride was formed on both the top and side surfaces of the electrode wiring 6 in this way, the anti-reflection film was formed only on the top surface of the electrode wiring in the embodiment of the first invention. Compared to this, diffused reflection is reduced, and smear defects can be further reduced. In addition, also in this example,
As in the embodiment of the first invention, instead of forming an anti-reflective film of titanium nitride, an anti-reflective film of titanium oxide, titanium nitride oxide, or a low-reflection Al-Si film is formed. Smear defects can be further reduced. Note that when a low-reflection Al-Si film is used as an antireflection film, the reflectance is higher than that of an antireflection film using titanium oxide or titanium nitride oxide, but the yield is high.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above, the solid-state imaging device of the first invention has an anti-reflection film formed on the upper surface of the electrode wiring with a reflectance smaller than that of the electrode wiring, so that it is protected. Since almost no light entering the upper surface of the electrode wiring through the film is reflected by the anti-reflection film, almost no reflected light enters the light receiving section, making it possible to prevent smear defects from occurring.

Furthermore, in the solid-state imaging device of the third invention, since the electrode wiring is formed using a low-reflection Al-Si film, almost no light that enters the electrode wiring through the protective film is reflected. Therefore, the amount of reflected light incident on the light receiving section is smaller than that of conventional electrode wiring not provided with an antireflection film, and smear defects can be more effectively prevented.
