[Prior Art] In an image sensor Using ion implantation, a photodiode is formed in a substrate having a readout circuit. Since the size of the photodiode is increasingly reduced for the purpose of increasing the number of pixels without increasing the size of the wafer, the light receiving portion is further reduced. The area is reduced, resulting in a reduction in image quality. Moreover, since the reduction in stacking is not as large as the reduction of the portion of the light receiving portion, the number of electrons incident on the light receiving portion is called the disk of the disk. Light diffraction is also reduced. As a way to eliminate this limitation, try to use amorphous nano-photodiode, or to form a readout circuit and use - for example, a wafer-to-wafer bonding method to form a photodiode on the readout circuit. The polar body (10) is made up of three-dimensional (eg, image sensor). The photodiode is connected to the readout circuit through a metal line. d For a one-dimensional (3D) image sensor, when the photodiode is formed on the substrate having the readout voltage, a height difference is generated between the photodiode surface and the top surface of the substrate 200915558. In particular, since the two sides of the wafer are formed in the edge region of the wafer, the light of the non-ship can be incident on the side and the light sensitivity can be reduced. At the same time, according to the prior art, when the surface of the photodiode is reduced by the incident light, the surface of the sensing portion is simultaneously lowered. Thereafter, when the -transistor transistor is turned on and the NMOS is turned on, the potential of the drain is amplified by the drive transistor. According to the prior art 4, the source and the drain of the conversion transistor are highly doped with erbium-type impurities, so that charge sharing can occur. When a charge sharing phenomenon occurs, the sensitivity of the output image can be reduced and an image error can be generated. Moreover, according to the technique of f, since the photocharge is not at the recording axis between the photodiode and the readout circuit, black slaves or money reduction and sensitivity are generated. [Summary of the Invention] Therefore, the threat is on the subject, and the method of the present invention is to form a top line for blocking the incidence of the pixel.

Moreover, the top line can be formed to have the same height as the first passivation layer 24 on the photodiode 205. By forming the top line to a certain height above the photodiode 205, the top line can block light incident on the side of the photodiode 205 to improve image characteristics. Figure 12 is a cross-sectional view of an image sensor according to another embodiment of the present invention, in which a transparent electrode is formed only on a photodiode.

Hereinafter, the dumping structure of the photocharge of the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail. The electrical junction region 140 may include a first conductivity type ion implantation layer 143 formed on the second conductivity type well 141 (or a second conductivity type epitaxial layer (not shown)) The second conductivity type ion implantation layer 145 is formed on the first conductivity type ion implantation layer 143. For example, the electrical junction region 14 can be a dome or a pNp junction, but is not limited thereto. Unlike the node of the oceanic diffusion region FD131, i.e., the n+ junction, the pNp-type electrical junction region 140 is interrupted at a predetermined voltage, and the neon applied to the patterned electrical junction region H0 is not completely converted. This predetermined voltage is referred to as a closing voltage, and the closing voltage is dependent on the doping concentration of the P0 type second conductivity type ion implantation layer 145 and the N• type first conductivity type ion implantation layer 143. Specifically, an electron generated by the photodiode 2〇5 is moved to the pNp-type electrical junction region 140' and transferred to the node of the floating diffusion region Fm31 and converted to a voltage when the switching transistor Txl21 is turned on. Since the Ρ0/Ν-/Ρ-type electrical junction positive 14 (four)-maximum voltage value changes to a closing voltage 'and the maximum voltage value of the node of the floating diffusion FD131 becomes the threshold voltage Vth of the reset transistor Rxl23, Therefore, by applying a potential difference between the sides of the switching transistor ,12, an electron generated in the photodiode 2〇5 in the top of the wafer can be sufficiently dumped to the node of the floating diffusion FD131 without charge sharing. 14 200915558 That is, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a p〇/N_/p_ type well junction, rather than an N+/P-type well junction, is formed in the first substrate for active sensation in 4_Tr During the reset operation of the Active Pixel Sensor (APS), a positive voltage is applied to the N_type first conductivity type ion implantation layer ι43 of the Ρ0/Ν-/Ρ-type well junction and a ground voltage is applied to the P0. a second conductivity type ion implantation layer 145 and a p_ type second conductivity type well 141 such that the Ρ0/Ν-/Ρ-type well double junction is at a predetermined voltage or in a double junction transistor (Bipolar Juncti) 〇n Transist〇r BJT) The structure produces a pinch-off with a larger voltage. This voltage is called the closing voltage. Therefore, a potential difference is generated between the source and the drain on the side of the switching transistor Τχ121, and the charge sharing phenomenon is prevented during the opening/closing operation of the switching transistor 。. Therefore, unlike the case where the photodiode of the prior art is simply connected to the Ν+-type junction (Ν+/Ρ-well), the embodiment of the present invention can eliminate the limitation of saturation and sensitivity reduction. Moreover, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a first conductive type connection region 147 is formed between the photodiode and the readout circuit for providing a fast moving path of photocharges so as to minimize the black current source, and It can prevent saturation reduction and sensitivity reduction. To this end, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, a first conductive type connection region 147 for ohmic contact may be formed on the surface of the Ρ0/Ν-/Ρ-type electrical junction region 14A. At the same time, in order to prevent the first conductive type connection region 147 from becoming a leak source, the width of the first conductive type connection region 147 can be minimized. In this way, the black current of the three-dimensional (3D) image sensing 15 200915558 can be reduced. In the above embodiments, the reason why the N-type T-child is used in the contact formation region and heavily doped is that when the minimization is performed, the 转换4 is over-doped in the case of heavily doping the entire conversion transistor Tx. Si) surface counts can increase the black signal. The following is a description of the present invention in conjunction with "Figure 1" to "D2".

That is, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, a device is designed to cause a potential difference between the impurity and the drain of the conversion transistor Tx such that the photocharge can be charged: dumped. For example, 'the doping/length of the Ν-type first conductivity type ion implantation layer 143 is smaller than the doping concentration of the ocean diffusion region rom'. This device is designed to cause the source and the drain of the conversion transistor. A potential difference is generated between them. Next, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, a first conductive type connection region 147 for ohmic contact may be formed on the surface of the ρ__/Ρ_ type electrical answering 14〇. For example, the Ν+-type first conductivity type connection region 147 for ohmic contact may be formed on the surface of the 暴-type electrical junction region 140. According to the present invention, the N+ type first conductivity type connection The region 147 may be formed to pass through the PQ-type second conductive lion injection layer 145 and to be in contact with the N-type first conductivity type ion implantation layer 143. Meanwhile, in order to prevent the first conductive type connection region 147 from becoming a source of leakage, the width of the first via 17 200915558 electrical connection region 147 can be minimized. To this end, the plug-in can be performed after the side first metal contacts the vias of the plug 151a. Fine, the embodiment of the present invention is inferior to this. For example, in another embodiment of the present invention, an ion implantation pattern (Toffin) is formed, and then an ion implantation pattern is used as an ion implantation mask. A first conductive type connection region 147 may be formed. According to the practice of the present invention, the first conductive type connection region 147 is driven between the photodiode and the readout circuit 120 to provide a fast moving path of photocharge, and thus minimizes the black wire and prevents saturation reduction. And _ degrees are reduced. An interlayer dielectric layer chamber may be formed on the first substrate, and then the bottom of the gift path bottom 1M) may include a miscellaneous shoe micro-metal contact plug 151a metal 151 (mi), a second metal 152 ( M2), a third metal 153 (M3), and a fourth metal contact plug 15 as. The bottom line 15 of each of the unit cells is formed to apply photodiode to the readout circuit 120 and to transfer the photocharge of the photodiode 2〇5. When the bottom line 15A connected to the extraction circuit 120 is formed, the bottom line 17A connected to the peripheral portion ~B can be simultaneously formed. The bottom line (9) and the carrier can be formed from different electrically conductive materials including metals, alloys and lithium. Please refer to "Fig. 2" to injure a second substrate 2 having a crystalline semiconductor layer 2〇〇. The second substrate 20 may be a single crystal or polycrystalline substrate, and may be a substrate doped with P-type impurities or n-type impurities. The crystalline semiconductor layer can be formed, for example, on the second substrate 2 by epitaxial growth. 18 200915558 Please refer to "Fig. 3, Ley-Pu". The nine-tailed body 205 can be formed inside the crystalline semiconductor layer 200. The photodiode 2〇5 J匕 contains a first doped region 210 and a second doped region 220. The first doping region 210 is formed by implanting an n-type impurity into a deep region of the crystalline semiconductor layer (i.e., a region closest to the first: substrate). First, the doping region 220 1 ^ ρ 31 is a person in the shallow region of the crystalline semiconductor layer (i.e., near the surface of the crystalline conductor layer) axis. (4) - The impurity and the second doping region 22 are formed in contact with each other, whereby the photodiode may be formed as a - gusset structure. Therefore, the photocharge generated by the photodiode can be transferred to the readout circuit 12A through the bottom line 15A. Although not shown, an ohmic contact layer can be formed by implanting a high concentration of n-type impurities into the surface of the first dummy pad 210. Further, an insulating layer can be formed inside the crystalline semiconductor layer 200 by, for example, injecting a p-type impurity into each of the photodiodes 2 〇 5 of each unit. Since the photodiode 2〇5 is formed in the crystalline semiconductor layer through the ion implantation, defects inside the photodiode 2G5 can be prevented and black current can be reduced. «Monthly, refer to "Fig. 4". The first substrate having the bottom lines (9) and 17 turns and the second substrate 2G having the crystalline semiconductors 2 are bonded to each other. When the first substrate 100 and the second substrate 2 are bonded to each other, the fourth metal contact plug 154a as the bottom line ls is electrically connected to the first doping region 21 of the photodiode 205. 19 200915558 Please refer to "Fig. 5" to remove the second substrate 20 so that the photodiode 205 remains on the first substrate 100. For example, the second substrate 20 can be removed using a blade such that the photodiode 205 can be exposed. Therefore, since the crystalline semiconductor layer 200 having the photodiode 205 remains on the first substrate 1 , the first substrate 100 and the photodiode 205 can be vertically integrated. Referring to FIG. 6, the portion of the crystalline semiconductor layer 200 bonded to the first substrate 1 is removed to form a portion corresponding to the peripheral portion b and the bottom portion of the exposed interlayer dielectric layer 160. The area 115 of the top surface of 170. After the exposed region 115, the photodiode 205 may remain only on the pixel portion a. In particular, the photodiode 205 shown in Fig. 6 may be the photodiode 205 of the edge element of the halogen portion A of the entire region of the first substrate. Due to the twist of the photodiode 205, the pixel portion a and the peripheral portion b have a difference in degree. Therefore, the side walls of the photodiode 205 adjacent to the peripheral portion B are exposed. Referring to FIG. 7 , a transparent electrode 230 may be formed on the first substrate 1 , wherein the photodiode 205 is formed on the first substrate 100 . The transparent electrode 23A can be electrically connected to the photodiode 205 and the bottom line 丨7〇 in the peripheral portion B. For example, the transparent electrode 230 may be formed of indium tin oxide (IT), cadmium Tin Oxide (CTO), or zinc oxide (Zn 〇 2). Referring to FIG. 8 , the first passivation layer 240 may be formed on the first substrate 1 , 20 200915558 , and the transparent substrate mo is formed on the substrate. For example, the first inscribed layer 24 can be a warfare layer or a nitride layer. By applying the first sharpening layer, the channel can be formed into the i-th layer 24G t, and one of the transparent electrodes 230 on the slanting portion is used. Ming, see Figure 9," the top line 250 can be formed in the channel 24i_. The top turn 250 may be formed of a transparent material such as shovel (7), copper (8), chin (5), and/or tungsten (five). The top line 25 () is formed on the first passivation layer 240 having channel correction, the top line 25 〇 is used to electrically connect with the transparent electrode and the line 170. 贱 Through the deposition-metal layer (not shown) and using the first-purification layer 240 as a planarization process of the residual stopper, the top line (four) can be combined with the halogen The top surface of the first purification layer 240 in the region A has the same height. Due to the formation of the top line shift, 2 the enthalpy fraction is read _ _ _ _ degree difference, so _ single execution of a subsequent color filter process Since the top line 250 is selectively formed on a portion of the transparent electrode 230 corresponding to the bottom line, the top line 25 does not block the light incident on the top surface of the photodiode 205, and thus can be exhausted It is possible to ensure the light receiving area of the photodiode 2〇5. Please refer to the “U” diagram, and the second purification layer may be formed on the first purification layer, wherein the first passivation layer 24 is formed thereon. Top line attack. Further, in a unit of the halogen, the color filter layer 27G may be formed on a portion of the 21 200915558 photodiode 205 of the disk of the second purification layer (10). "U-shaped diagram" and "12th diagram" are schematic diagrams in which the transparent electrode of the embodiment of the present invention is formed only on the halogen component. Please refer to FIG. 11 to form a transflective layer (® not shown) on the first substrate having the photodiode 2〇5, and form a pattern of the transparent electrode so that the transparent electrode remains only in the halogen. On the portion A, the transparent electrode 235 can be formed thereby. Then, the first purification layer 240 may be formed on the first substrate 100 having a transparent electrode condition. The first passivation layer 240 is formed on the interlayer dielectric layer 160 of the photodiode 2〇5 and the peripheral portion b for protecting and isolating the photodiode from the bottom line 170, the via 243 and the second trench. A track 245 can be formed on the first passivation layer 24A. The first channel 243 is selectively formed to expose a photodiode 2〇5, and the second channel 245 is exposed to the bottom line 17〇 in the peripheral portion B. Referring to Fig. 12, a top line 255 is formed inside the first trench 243 for electrically connecting to the photodiode 2〇5 through the transparent electrode 235. Moreover, the top line 255 extends from the first channel 243 to the second channel 245 and is thus electrically connectable to the bottom line 170. Therefore, a ground voltage can be applied to the photodiode 205 and the bottom line 170 through the top line 255.

The substrate 100 includes a bottom line (9) and a readout circuit, and the photodiode 2 on the readout circuit 120. 〇 5. An N+-type connection region 148, which may be formed in the first substrate 100 and is connected to the bottom wiring 150, may be formed on the side of the electrical interface region 140. This embodiment can adopt the technical features of the embodiments of "1st" to "1st". According to the present invention, the device is designed such that a potential difference is generated between the source and the drain of the side of the photovoltaic cell, so that the photocharge can be sufficiently dumped. Therefore, since the photocharge generated by the photodiode can be sufficiently dumped to the floating diffusion region FD131', the sensitivity of the output image can be increased. Moreover, a charge connection region is formed between the photodiode and the readout circuit for providing a fast axis path of the -photof charge to minimize the black f flow source, and to prevent saturation reduction and sensitivity.

Therefore, a first metal contact plug 151a can be formed on the active region which is not doped with the ρ 〇 region but which contains the N + -type connection region 148. Then, the first metal contact plug 151a is electrically connected to the N-type first conductivity type ion implantation layer 143 through the N+ type connection region 148.
