본 발명은 이미지 센서 제조 분야에 관한 것으로, 특히 이미지 센서에 있어서 가장 중요한 특징인 광감도(light sensitivity)를 크게 향상시킬 수 있는 이미지 센서 및 그 제조 방법에 관한 것이다.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to the field of image sensor manufacturing, and more particularly, to an image sensor and a method of manufacturing the same, which can greatly improve light sensitivity, which is the most important feature of an image sensor.

이미지 센서(image sensor)는 1차원 또는 2차원 이상의 광학 정보를 전기신호로 변환하는 장치이다. 이미지 센서의 종류는 크게 나누어 촬상관과 고체 촬상 소자로 분류된다. 촬상관은 텔레비전을 중심으로 하여 화상처리기술을 구사한 계측, 제어, 인식 등에서 널리 상용되며 응용 기술이 발전되었다. 시판되는 고체 이미지 센서는 MOS(metal-oxide-semiconductor)형과 CCD(charge coupled device)형의 2종류가 있다.An image sensor is an apparatus that converts optical information of one or two dimensions or more into an electrical signal. The types of image sensors are broadly classified into imaging tubes and solid-state imaging devices. Imaging tubes are widely used in measurement, control, and recognition using image processing technology centered on televisions, and applied technologies have been developed. There are two types of commercially available solid-state image sensors, a metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) type and a charge coupled device (CCD) type.

CMOS 이미지 센서는 CMOS 제조 기술을 이용하여 광학적 이미지를 전기적신호로 변환시키는 소자로서, 화소수 만큼 MOS트랜지스터를 만들고 이것을 이용하여 차례차례 출력을 검출하는 스위칭 방식을 채용하고 있다. CMOS 이미지 센서는, 종래 이미지센서로 널리 사용되고 있는 CCD 이미지센서에 비하여 구동 방식이 간편하고 다양한 스캐닝 방식의 구현이 가능하며, 신호처리 회로를 단일칩에 집적할 수 있어 제품의 소형화가 가능할 뿐만 아니라, 호환성의 CMOS 기술을 사용하므로 제조 단가를 낮출 수 있고, 전력 소모 또한 크게 낮다는 장점을 지니고 있다.CMOS image sensor is a device that converts an optical image into an electrical signal by using CMOS fabrication technology, and adopts a switching method in which MOS transistors are made by the number of pixels and the outputs are sequentially detected using the same. The CMOS image sensor is simpler to drive than the CCD image sensor, which is widely used as a conventional image sensor, and can realize various scanning methods, and can integrate a signal processing circuit into a single chip, thereby miniaturizing the product. The use of compatible CMOS technology reduces manufacturing costs and significantly lowers power consumption.

도 1은 4개의 트랜지스터와 2개의 캐패시턴스 구조로 이루어지는 CMOS 이미지센서의 단위화소를 보이는 회로도로서, 광감지 수단인 포토다이오드(PD)와 4개의 NMOS트랜지스터로 구성되는 CMOS 이미지센서의 단위화소를 보이고 있다. 4개의 NMOS트랜지스터 중 트랜스퍼 트랜지스터(Tx)는 포토다이오드(PD)에서 생성된 광전하를 플로팅 확산영역(FD)으로 전송하는 신호를 전달하고, 리셋 트랜지스터(Rx)는 플로팅 확산영역(FD)을 공급전압(VDD) 레벨로 리셋시키는 신호를 전달하고, 드라이브 트랜지스터(Dx)는 소스팔로워(Source Follower)로서 역할하며, 셀렉트 트랜지스터(Sx)는 픽셀 데이터 인에이블(pixel data enable) 신호를 인가받아 픽셀 데이터 신호를 출력으로 전송하는 역할을 한다.1 is a circuit diagram showing a unit pixel of a CMOS image sensor composed of four transistors and two capacitance structures, and a unit pixel of a CMOS image sensor composed of a photodiode (PD) as an optical sensing means and four NMOS transistors. . Of the four NMOS transistors, the transfer transistor Tx transmits a signal for transferring the photocharge generated in the photodiode PD to the floating diffusion region FD, and the reset transistor Rx supplies the floating diffusion region FD. The drive transistor Dx serves as a source follower, and the select transistor Sx receives a pixel data enable signal and receives a pixel to reset the voltage to the voltage V DD level. It is responsible for transmitting the data signal to the output.

이와 같이 구성된 이미지센서 단위화소에 대한 동작은 다음과 같이 이루어진다. 처음에는 리셋 트랜지스터(Rx), 트랜스퍼 트랜지스터(Tx) 및 셀렉트 트랜지스터(Sx)를 온(on)시켜 단위화소를 리셋시킨다. 이때 포토다이오드(PD)는 공핍되기 시작하여 전하축적(carrier changing)이 발생하고, 플로팅 확산영역은 공급전압( VDD)까지 전하축전된다. 그리고 트랜스퍼 트랜지스터(Tx)를 오프시키고 셀렉트 트랜지스터(Sx)를 온시킨 다음 리셋트랜지스터(Rx)를 오프시킨다. 이와 같은 동작 상태에서 단위화소 출력단(SO)으로부터 출력전압 V1을 읽어 버퍼에 저장시키고 난 후, 트랜스퍼 트랜지스터(Tx)를 온시켜 빛의 세기에 따라 변화된 캐패시턴스 Cp의 캐리어들을 캐패시턴스 Cf로 이동시킨 다음, 다시 출력단(Out)에서 출력전압 V2를 읽어들여 V1 - V2에 대한 아날로그 데이터를 디지털 데이터로 변경시키므로 단위화소에 대한 한 동작주기가 완료된다.Operation of the image sensor unit pixel configured as described above is performed as follows. Initially, the unit pixel is reset by turning on the reset transistor Rx, the transfer transistor Tx, and the select transistor Sx. At this time, the photodiode PD starts to deplete, and carrier accumulation occurs, and the floating diffusion region is charged and stored up to the supply voltage VDD. The transfer transistor Tx is turned off, the select transistor Sx is turned on, and the reset transistor Rx is turned off. In this operation state, after reading the output voltage V1 from the unit pixel output terminal SO and storing it in the buffer, the transfer transistor Tx is turned on to move the carriers of the capacitance Cp changed according to the light intensity to the capacitance Cf. The output voltage (V2) is read from the output terminal (Out) again and the analog data for V1-V2 is converted into digital data, so one operation cycle for the unit pixel is completed.

The microlenses 24 overlapping the filters R, G, and B are formed of a photosensitive film.

There is this.
