Abstract
Description
This embodiment discloses a method of manufacturing an image sensor.
In general, an image sensor is a semiconductor device that converts an optical image into an electrical signal, and is generally classified into a charge coupled device (CCD) and a CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Silicon) image sensor.
The CMOS image sensor forms a photodiode and a MOS transistor in a unit pixel, and sequentially detects an electrical signal of each unit pixel in a switching manner to implement an image.
The conventional CMOS image sensor manufacturing process involves a chemical mechanical polishing process for forming a multilayer including a plurality of metal lines and an insulating layer after photodiode formation.
This causes a decrease in light sensitivity due to an increase in the distance from the photodiode to the color filter or the like and an increase in bad pixels due to an increase in defects.
The present embodiment is divided into a logic chip consisting of an image chip for forming a color filter array and a micro lens after forming a photodiode using two chips, a driver IC for driving the same, and a logic array for providing additional functions. Therefore, a method of manufacturing an image capable of three-dimensional integration of an image chip and a logic chip by using a single pad is proposed.
In addition, by eliminating a plurality of metal lines on the top of the photodiode, by reducing the distance between the photodiode and the micro lens, the optical path is dramatically reduced, thereby providing a method of manufacturing an image sensor that can improve the light sensitivity. .
In addition, a method of manufacturing an image sensor capable of alleviating or removing damage to a silicon substrate that may occur during silicon etching is proposed.
An image sensor according to the present embodiment comprises the steps of bonding silicon on a substrate on which metal wiring is formed; Bonding silicon is formed on the substrate by bonding the silicon, and performing a plurality of processes for implanting impurities into the bonding silicon; Etching the bonding silicon and the substrate to form contact holes exposed by portions of the metal wires; Performing a heat treatment process on the bonded silicon or the substrate on which the contact hole is formed; And forming a contact plug connected to the metal wire in the contact hole.
In addition, the manufacturing method of the image sensor of the embodiment comprises the steps of: bonding silicon on a substrate on which the first metal wiring is formed; Bonding silicon is formed on the substrate by bonding the silicon, and performing a plurality of processes for implanting impurities into the bonding silicon; Etching the bonding silicon and the substrate to form a first contact hole exposed by a portion of the first metal wire; Implanting impurities into the side of the bonding silicon exposed by the first contact hole; Performing a heat treatment process on the bonding silicon in which the first contact hole is formed; Forming a first contact plug connected to the first metal wire in the first contact hole; Forming an interlayer insulating layer on the bonding silicon and forming a second contact hole to etch the interlayer insulating layer to expose a portion of the bonding silicon; And forming a second contact plug connected to an upper surface of the bonding silicon in the second contact hole.
By the manufacturing method of the image sensor of the embodiment as proposed, the impurity region constituting the photodiode formed in the bonding silicon is proposed as a new structure, the plurality of silicon in the process of forming a plurality of impurity regions in the bonding silicon or subsequent processes Since etching is not performed, there is an advantage in preventing deterioration of silicon performance.
And, by reducing the damage that can be applied to the silicon during silicon etching, there is an advantage that can improve the device characteristics.
