Abstract

PURPOSE: To realize a miniature solid state image sensor having high pixel count in which the sensitivity and picture quality are enhanced by reducing the component of incident light condensed through a microlens and shielded by a shielding part provided above a charge transfer part. CONSTITUTION: Between a microlens 9 and a light receiving part 6, an intermediate film 8 having refractive index higher than that of the material of microlens is provided beneath the microlens 9. A planarization layer 7 having refractive index lower than that of the intermediate layer and concave curvature toward the center of light receiving part is provided beneath the intermediate film 8. Incident light to the microlens 9 is condensed and refracted due to the difference of refractive index between the microlens 9 and the underlying intermediate film 8 having higher refractive index. It is further condensed by the planarization layer 7 having refractive index lower than that of the intermediate layer 8 and concave curvature before entering into the light receiving part 6 located directly thereunder.

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, there has been a problem of a decrease in sensitivity due to a reduction in the area of a light receiving portion accompanying the miniaturization of a solid-state image pickup device and an increase in the number of pixels. A solid-state imaging device having a microlens on its part is used. By providing the microlens on the light receiving portion, the incident light having a larger area than the light receiving portion can be condensed by the microlens and the incident light can be efficiently incident on the light receiving portion. Therefore, the utilization rate of incident light is increased and the sensitivity is improved.

FIG. 3 is a sectional view showing the structure of the main part of a conventional solid-state image pickup device. As shown in FIG. 3, the conventional solid-state imaging device has a structure in which Si is formed on a semiconductor substrate 1 made of silicon.
The transfer portion 3 made of a polycrystalline silicon layer is selectively formed via the gate insulating film 2 made of O 2 or the like. A light shielding portion 5 made of aluminum is selectively formed on the transfer portion 3 via an interlayer film 4, and a flattening layer 37 made of an acrylic resin is formed thereon. Further, a microlens 38 made of an acrylic resin or a novolac resin and having a semicircular cross section is formed thereon to be configured. Here, the region where the transfer unit 3 and the light shielding unit 5 are not formed is the light receiving unit 6, and the microlens 38
Are formed in an upper layer corresponding to the light receiving portion 6.

The operation of the solid-state image pickup device configured as described above will be described below. First, the light that enters not only above the light receiving portion 6 but also above the light shielding portion 5 is condensed by the microlens 38, passes through the flattening layer 37, and enters the light receiving portion 6. The light incident on the light receiving unit 6 is converted into signal charges by the light receiving unit 6 according to the amount thereof.

However, the aperture area of the light receiving portion 6 in the above-described solid-state image pickup device has a smaller unit pixel area due to the recent miniaturization of the solid-state image pickup device and the increase in the number of pixels, and the transfer portion 3 is provided. Due to the limitation of thinning and miniaturization of the light shielding portion 5, the light shielding portion 5 tends to be reduced, and the ratio of the opening area of the light receiving portion 6 to the unit pixel area tends to become smaller and smaller.

Under the above circumstances, in the conventional solid-state image pickup device, the light incident on the peripheral portion of the microlens 38 is shielded by the shoulder of the light shielding portion 5, and a light component not incident on the light receiving portion 6 is generated. However, there is an inconvenience that the light condensing effect of the microlenses is impaired. In addition, this phenomenon is particularly noticeable when there are many incident light components in the oblique direction (when the lens diaphragm of the video camera is close to the open or even when the diaphragm is normal), the phenomenon of the solid-state imaging device is increased. However, there is a problem in that there is a limit to the improvement of sensitivity or the uniformity of sensitivity.

The present invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned inconvenience, and in the incident light condensed by the microlens, the light component shielded by the light shielding part made of aluminum is reduced as much as possible, and the microlens is used. The original effect of improving the sensitivity can be sufficiently exerted without being affected by the lens aperture of the video camera, and the solid-state imaging device itself can be miniaturized and the number of pixels can be increased, and the image quality can be improved. An object is to provide a solid-state imaging device.

According to the present invention, with the above-described structure, the light incident on the microlens 9 and condensed is refracted due to the difference in the refractive index between the microlens 9 and the intermediate film 8 having a high refractive index thereunder,
The light enters the solid-state imaging device almost vertically.
Then, the light is further condensed by the flattening layer 7 having a concave shape immediately above the light receiving portion 6 and is incident on the light receiving portion 6. As a result, the components of the incident light collected by the microlens 9 are blocked by the light shielding unit 5, so that the sensitivity improving effect, which is the original effect of the microlens, can be sufficiently exerted, and the light is efficiently incident on the light receiving unit. Since the light can be condensed, it is possible to reduce the size of the solid-state imaging device itself, increase the number of pixels, and improve the image quality.
