基板上に集積化した密着イメージセンナがDfl 発、
実用化されている。Since the one-dimensional contact image sensor has a sensor length that is the same size as the document, it greatly contributes to miniaturization and cost reduction of facsimiles and image scanners. For this reason, their development has become active in recent years, and as shown in the 16th Annual Mounting Element and Conference Papers (1984) p. 555, photoelectric conversion elements and scanning circuits that drive them are made of the same quartz. A close-contact image sensor integrated on a substrate is developed by Dfl.
It has been put into practical use.

得す、コスト低下が難しかった。These contact image sensors include a type (hereinafter referred to as a top type) in which light enters from the active element surface (the surface where photoelectric conversion elements and drive circuit elements are integrated) as shown in Fig. 2; There is a type (hereinafter referred to as a bottom type) in which light enters from the quartz substrate side, as shown in FIG. When forming a color filter on the photoelectric conversion element surface of a contact image sensor to achieve full color, in the top type, the color filter 3 is directly contacted with the transparent conductive film 4 of the photoelectric conversion cable 5 as shown in FIG. can be formed. However, the top type has no choice but to use expensive mounting methods such as glass sealing when mounting it as a product due to its structure, making it difficult to reduce costs.

置にカラーフィルタを形成することは不可能であった。On the other hand, in the bottom type, light enters from the quartz substrate side, so there is no need for expensive and complicated processes such as glass sealing for mounting, and costs can be easily reduced compared to the top type. However, when colorizing the bottom type, the position shown by the broken line in Figure 1, that is, the back side 0 of the transparent substrate.
It is not possible to form color filters on While the pixel pitch of a contact image sensor is 100 μm or less, the thickness of the quartz substrate 2 is 1.2 mm, so if a color filter is formed at position 0 of the broken line in Fig. 1, color mixing with adjacent pixels will occur. This is because color blurring occurs. For this reason, in the bottom type, it is necessary to form a color filter 3 between the transparent insulating substrate 2 and the photoelectric conversion element 5, as shown in FIG. In order to form a color filter at this location, after the color filter is formed, it goes through a process that requires temperatures of up to 220°C, so the heat resistance of the color filter is at the bottom 25°C.
0°C is necessary. Conventionally, the type of color filter that has been used for solid-state imaging probes, made by dyeing transparent gelatin with dye, is not heat resistant, making it impossible to form a color filter in the position shown in Figure 1. Met.
本発明は以上の問題点を解決するもので、その目的は、

0 to 2000 people deposited red (R), green (G), blue (B)
The ITO is patterned according to each of the taps, and the electrodeposited electrode 8 is
form. An example of this is shown in FIG. FIG. 3 is a view seen from the active element side. 81 is an electrode for electrodeposition of the R filter, 82 is an electrode for electrodeposition of the G filter, 83 is an electrode for electrodeposition of the B filter, and 84 is an electrode power supply section. In FIG. 3, only a part of the electrodeposited electrode is depicted, and other parts are omitted. This substrate is immersed together with a counter electrode in a solution containing a red pigment and a polymer resin dispersed in a solution (manufactured by Mint-Chemitron), and when a positive voltage is applied to the electrodeposited electrode 8 and a negative voltage is applied to the counter electrode, a negative charge is generated. The red pigment collected on the electrodeposited electrode 8. Appropriate film thickness (1.5 to 2.5 μm
), remove the substrate, wash it with water, dry it, and then bake it to harden it. The film thickness of the color filter can be freely controlled by adjusting the electrodeposition time. Green and blue color filters are also made using the same method. Since the polymer resin used in the pigment Zbinder is polynisder resin, the color filter produced through the above process has excellent heat resistance and does not deteriorate even when heated in the atmosphere at 240°C for 1 hour.

色をおこして用いることができなかった。Amorphous silicon deposited by plasma CVD was used for the photoelectric conversion element. Since the spectral sensitivity characteristics of amorphous silicon are approximately equal to the color sensitivity of the human eye, amorphous silicon is suitable for color image sensors. Forming an amorphous silicon film is a process that takes about 3 hours at a substrate temperature of 200°C. After forming the amorphous silicon film, patterning is performed to make a contact hole for taking out the electrode of the thin film transistor 7. After forming the contact hole, Aρ-S j becomes the electrode 6
The photoelectric conversion element 5 and the wiring of the thin film transistor 7 are simultaneously formed by sputtering and patterning -Cu alloy. Thereafter, a protective polyimide film (manufactured by Toshi Co., Ltd., Photonice, etc.) is applied to the active element surface to complete the color image sensor chip. Conventional gelatin dyed filters could not withstand the FG annealing during the ITO film formation and the heating during the amorphous silicon film formation, causing discoloration and could not be used.

It has become possible to significantly simplify this. Therefore, the present invention has great effects in improving the mounting yield of color image sensors and reducing costs.
