Description of the invention (3) As mentioned above, the conventional method for making an active pixel sensor 10 is to perform an N-well implantation process on the entire image sensor wafer, and the N-well The implantation process involves implanting scale ion (ph 〇sph 〇r 〇us) ions 'with a dose of about 1013 / cm' into the wafer with an implantation energy of 100 ~ 200 eV to form an N-type well. Then, a P-type well 14 is implanted in the active pixel sensing area in the image sensing chip to form a p-type well 14, and the implantation of the P-type well 14 is also a high-energy Ion implantation process, and its dose is about 10i3 / cm2, and the dopant is boron ion. Due to the formation of the p-type well 14, a full wafer (b 1 anketimp 1 ant) N-type well implantation process is performed first, and then a p-type well implantation process is used to neutralize the N-well implantation. Therefore, the p-well implantation process is also called a compensation implantation process. However, these two high-implantation ion implantation processes often cause damage to the monocrystalline structure on the surface of the P-type well 1 4, which in turn leads to increased leakage current and high reliability (hi-rel iabi 1 i ty) and other disadvantages. Please refer to FIG. 3, which is a schematic diagram of implanting N-type wells and p-type wells in a conventional image sensing chip 24. The relative positions of the two ion implantation processes on the wafer are shown in Fig. 3A, respectively. The N-well implantation process is performed on the entire image sensing wafer 24, that is, the oblique area in Fig. 3a. , Including the entire active pixel sensing area 2 6. Among them, the area covered by the n-type well cover is the area used to form components such as PMMOS transistors in the peripheral circuit area. However, as shown in FIG. 3B, the P-well implantation process is implanted on all image sensing chips 24 except N-well mask 28, which is shown in FIG. 3β

第7頁 492155 五、發明說明(4) 中之斜線區域(P型井植入範圍),也同時包含有整個主動 像素感測區2 6。 由於一個感光二極體的感測度之好壞,通常係以遺漏 電流(1 e a k a g e c u r r e n t)為重要指標。感光二極體 (photodiode)的光感測區在受光下的漏遺電流(1 ight current)代表訊號(Signal ),而在不受光下的漏遺電流 (dark cur rent)代表雜訊(noise)。感光二極體即是利用 訊號雜訊比(signal to noise ratio)的強弱方式來處理 訊號資料。目前半導體業界改善感光二極體品質的方法大 多是以增加感光二極體的光感測區在受光下之漏遺電流所 代表之訊號的強度,來增加訊號與雜訊的強度比值以增強 訊號的對比(contras t ),以提高感光二極體的光感測區的 感測度(s e n s i t i v i t y ),進而改善感光二極體品質。 請參照回圖一,圖一之光感測區2 0中的砷離子沿著摻 雜區22之PN接面(junction),而與鄰近接壤的p型井1 4形 成一空乏區(depletion region)24,其製作方法是利用一 南劑ϊ坤離子來做為主要掺質,以進行離子佈植製程。這 個離子佈植製程在p型井1 4表層形成一 N型離子摻雜 使得在受光與不受光狀態下通過空乏區2 4的漏遺電=2 2, 小,分別可以用來代表訊號與雜訊。圖一中以斜線f大 虛線區域内即為空乏區2 4。由於在習知感光二極、體襟示的 感測區2 0中的N型摻雜區2 2係利用高劑量砷原早水~ 1 0的光 、丁來做為主Page 7 492155 V. The oblique area (P-well implantation range) in the description of the invention (4) also contains the entire active pixel sensing area 26. Due to the sensitivity of a photodiode, the leakage current (1 e a k a g e c u r r e n t) is usually an important indicator. The light leakage current (1 ight current) of the light sensing area of the photodiode under the light represents the signal, and the dark cur rent under no light represents the noise. . Photodiodes use the strength of the signal to noise ratio to process signal data. At present, most methods for improving the quality of the photodiode in the semiconductor industry are to increase the intensity of the signal represented by the leakage current of the light sensing area of the photodiode under light to increase the intensity ratio of the signal to the noise to enhance the signal. Contrast to increase the sensitivity of the light sensing area of the photodiode, thereby improving the quality of the photodiode. Please refer back to FIG. 1. The arsenic ions in the light sensing region 20 of FIG. 1 are along the PN junction of the doped region 22, and form a depletion region with the adjacent p-type wells 14. ) 24, the manufacturing method is to use a south agent ϊKun ion as the main dopant to carry out the ion implantation process. This ion implantation process forms an N-type ion dopant on the surface layer of p-type well 1 4 so that the leakage current passing through the empty region 24 under the light receiving and non-light receiving states = 2 2 is small, which can be used to represent signals and impurities, respectively. News. In Fig. 1, the area with a large dashed line f is the empty area 2 4. Because the N-type doped region 22 in the conventional photodiode and body-sensing sensing region 20 is based on the use of high doses of arsenic and early morning water ~ 1 0

Description of the invention (6) The light sensing area 40 is formed on the surface layer of the silicon substrate 32 and shares the same area with the drain 39 of the nmos transistor 38. Two-field oxide layers 35 and 36 are provided on the surface of the silicon substrate 32 and surround the NMOS transistor 38. They are used as an insulating layer of a dielectric insulating material, so as to prevent the light sensing area 40 from contacting with other components and causing a short circuit. .

FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of performing N-type implantation in the conventional image sensing chip 44. ^ It is a schematic diagram of P-type well implantation. The N-type well implantation process in FIG. 6 in the light sensing area outside 40. Although there are some components in the area junction area, such as the ^ t cover that is scheduled to form a 0s transistor, it is not specifically marked in Figure 5A. come out. Then, in the sensing area β, the P-well implantation process is performed in the area outside the dagger 40 when the light is in the active pixel sensing area 46. The photo-sensing area 40 above the N-type and p-type wells will be covered by a photomask. In the structure disclosed in FIG. 4, although the portion occupied by the p-type well is reduced to avoid all the P-type silicon substrates 32 under the sensing area 40, it can be implanted for the first and the second high energy. It was destroyed to solve the bottleneck encountered in the above Figures 1 and 2. But new problems have emerged. Figure 4 shows the place where the soil well 3 3 is connected to the drain electrode 3 9, and the P-type well 34 is connected to the drain electrode 3 9. However, the well 'is easily driven by the subsequent high temperature (drive — i η ) Process, and there are 33, 34 encroachment. Once this phenomenon 492155 V.

In addition to the reduction of the light receiving area, the area of the light sensing area 40 of the different photodiodes 30 ( sensor area), there will be inconsistencies (nonuniformity), resulting in mismatch between different photodiodes, these are the main factors that make the image quality worse. Therefore, how can a new type of active pixel sensor structure be developed to avoid the problem of wafer structure damage and P-well erosion of photodiodes caused by the above-mentioned secondary high-energy ion implantation process, and can form an appropriate The width of the empty area and fewer structural defects to reduce noise and promote the absorption of red light have become very important issues.

Subsequently, at least one P-well is formed on the surface of the semiconductor wafer not covered by the second APSB mask and the N-well mask. Finally, the second active pixel sensing block mask and the N-well mask are removed, and at least one photodiode and at least one complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) are formed on the surface of the active pixel sensing area. ) Transistor. It is distinguished by the pixel circuit. The defect of the polar body of the direct sensing element is the good quality of the polar body. The effect of the invention is to use the active pixel sensing block mask (APSB mask) of the present invention. After the N-type well region of the PMOS circuit in the periphery is exposed and the rest of the wafer is shielded, the N-type ion implantation process is performed. In the subsequent production of active image elements, p-type well implantation will no longer be performed, so as to be fabricated on a P-type substrate. Therefore, there are no p-type wells around the light sensing area of the present invention, so there are fewer p-wells, lower leakage current, and less noise.
