Description of the Invention (/) The present invention relates to the structure of an image sensor and its manufacturing method, and in particular The invention relates to a structure of an image sensor for improving the frequency response of the image sensor to blue light and a manufacturing method thereof. Known digital sensors used for image capture often use charge coupled devices (CCDs), and their applications include surveillance, cameras, cameras, etc. However, CCDs are expensive and their The volume cannot be effectively reduced. In order to meet the requirements of current miniaturization volume, low energy and low cost, a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor photo diode device has been developed to use the existing semiconductor process technology to reduce production costs and reduce The small size of the sensor, and the complementary metal-oxide semiconductor has the advantage of low energy, so it is the current development trend. Such a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor photodiode element is further applied to a PC camera, a digitai camera, and the like. The photo-polar system uses a P-N junction to convert light energy into a semiconductor light-receiving element (also known as a light detection element). When there is no light irradiation, because there is an electric field inside the P-N junction, the electrons in the N layer or the holes in the P layer will not diffuse to the opposite layer. When light with sufficient energy is incident, an electron-hole pair is generated due to the excitation of the light energy, and both diffuse to the junction. After reaching the junction, due to the effect of the internal electric field, the electrons are separated toward the N side and the holes are separated toward the ρ side, and then accumulated, causing a current to flow between the P-N junction electrodes. Ideally, the role of a photodiode in darkness is equivalent to an open circuit, that is, no photoelectric current is generated. Figure 1 shows the reading of a conventional complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor sensor.

Description of the invention (II) Structural section, surface view. In the figure, reference numeral 100 indicates a P-type semiconductor substrate, .104 indicates a field oxide layer, Π0 indicates a P well, 120 indicates a gate structure, 22 indicates an N-type source / drain region, 124 indicates an N-type sensing region, 126 indicates the empty region and .Π1 indicates the borophosphosilicate glass / nitrogen silicate glass dielectric coating. Since the empty region 126 is a P-N junction surface, when the incident light 140 passes through the empty region 126, the empty region 126 will be excited to generate a hole-electron pair, thereby converting the signal of the incident light 140 into a current signal. In the technology using metal-oxide semiconductors as image sensors, the more difficult problems to overcome include whether different wavelengths of light have sufficient transmittance to enter the high-electric field empty regions of the semiconductor substrate, and the empty regions are excited by light energy. Electron-hole pairs are generated, which in turn causes current to flow in the essentially empty section. Generally, the empty region of the photodiode element is far away from the substrate surface. Since the wavelength of blue light in the incident light is short, about 460nm, most of the blue light cannot be incident to the empty region, which makes the photodiode element respond poorly to blue light. Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. In addition, the image sensor uses a process of gold-oxygen semi-transistor. The doped region on the gate side is used as the light sensing region. The polar region is performed at the same time, so it usually also has the dopant and concentration with the source / drain region. The source / drain region includes two regions: heavily doped and lightly doped. Of arsenic (As) at an implantation dose of 1 x 1 015 atoms / cm 2, while the lightly doped region is formed with 40 Kev of energy and an implantation dose of 1 x 10 13 atoms / cm 2 phosphorus. Arsenic has A larger atomic weight 'will often cause greater damage to the light sensing region when doped, and therefore easily cause leakage current. 1 This paper size is applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A1 specification (210X 297 mm) 486816 V. Description of the invention (<) Therefore, the present invention provides a structure of an image sensor and a method for manufacturing the same. The step of forming the source / drain region of the transistor is separated from the step of forming the sensing region, so as to avoid the high concentration and destructive arsenic in the source / drain region from being implanted into the light sensing region during the doping step. First, a semiconductor substrate is provided, on which a gate oxide layer and a gate structure are formed and defined, and then a first implantation step is performed to form a shallow first doped region in the semiconductor substrate on both sides of the gate. The first doped region on one side of the gate is the region where the source / drain region is located, and the other side is the region where the light sensing region is located. A gap wall is formed on the side wall of the gate, and then a first cover is provided to cover most of the semiconductor substrate, and only a part of the semiconductor substrate to be formed with a light sensing area is exposed, and a second implantation step is performed to place the light sensing area in the light sensing area. A second doped region with a deeper distribution than the first doped region is formed in the center to increase the frequency response of the < light sensing region to green and red light. After that, the first mask is removed, the second mask is covered, and the semiconductor substrate on the other side of the gate for forming the source / drain region is exposed, and a third implantation step is performed to form the source / A second doped region in the drain region, which is combined with the first doped region to form a source / drain region with a lightly doped drain region (LDD). By using the structure and manufacturing method of the image sensor provided by the present invention, a layer of mask is covered on the provided semiconductor substrate, and the area of the light sensing area is exposed, and a lightly distributed first part is implanted in the light sensing area. A doped region is defined and implanted with a deeper second doped region in the light sensing region. Among them, the shallow first doped region is favorable for the response of blue light, the deep second doped region is favorable for the response of red light and green light, and the dopants used in the first and second doped regions are uniform. Phosphorous instead of arsenic to avoid doping due to doping. This paper applies Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X 297 mm) (read the notes on the back and fill in this page)
