Description

然而,一般使用矽材料為主的感光元件,為了在相同晶片面積下增加解析度,大幅提升畫素數目造成畫素面積(pixel size)不斷縮小,也相對降低了每個畫素的進光量以及收光面積。由於感測元件的進光量及收光面積的限制,即使半導體製程不斷進步,感測元件畫素面積無法再縮小,畫素數目亦無法再提升,因此影像感測晶片解析度也無法再提高。因此,如何增加進光量及收光面積為目前探討之處,也是目前影像感測元件的發展重點。 However, in general, a photosensitive material mainly composed of a ruthenium material is used, in order to increase the resolution under the same wafer area, the pixel number is greatly increased, the pixel size is continuously reduced, and the amount of light entering each pixel is relatively reduced. Light collection area. Due to the limitation of the amount of light entering the light-receiving element and the light-receiving area, even if the semiconductor process continues to advance, the pixel area of the sensing element can no longer be reduced, and the number of pixels can no longer be increased, so the resolution of the image sensing chip can no longer be improved.

本揭露內容之實施例中,影像感測器之光電轉換層的頂表面低於畫素隔離結構的頂表面,如此一來,因為此兩個頂表面的高度差,而使得製作完成的光電轉換層被畫素隔離結構隔離在一個畫素區中,因此可以避免相鄰的畫素區中的光電轉換層發生串音(cross talk)的議題。以下係詳細敘述本揭露內容之實施例。實施例所提出的細部組成為舉例說明之用,並非對本揭露內容欲保護之範圍做限縮。具有通常知識者當可依據實際實施態樣的需要對該些組成加以修飾或變化。 In an embodiment of the disclosure, the top surface of the photoelectric conversion layer of the image sensor is lower than the top surface of the pixel isolation structure, so that the photoelectric conversion is completed because of the difference in height between the two top surfaces. The layer is isolated by a pixel isolation structure in one pixel region, so that the problem of cross talk of the photoelectric conversion layer in the adjacent pixel region can be avoided. The embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below. The details of the embodiments are for illustrative purposes and are not intended to limit the scope of the disclosure. Those having ordinary knowledge may modify or change the components as needed in accordance with the actual implementation.

第1A圖繪示本揭露內容之一實施例之影像感測器之上視圖,第1B圖繪示沿第1A圖之剖面線1B-1B’之剖面示意圖。如第1A~1B圖所示,影像感測器10包括一畫素感測電路100、一畫素電極(210、220)、一光電轉換層300及一水氧保護層400。畫素感測電路100對應至少相鄰的一第一畫素區P1和一第二畫素區P2。畫素電極設置於畫素感測電路100上,畫素電極對應第一畫素區P1和第二畫素區P2,畫素電極包括一第一電極210和一第二電極220且電性連接至畫素感測電路100。第一電極210 與第二電極220係為共平面,第一電極210與第二電極220具有不同極性,且位於第一畫素區P1中的第一電極210或第二電極220相鄰於位於第二畫素區P2中具有相同極性的第一電極210或第二電極220。光電轉換層300設置於畫素感測電路300及畫素電極上,光電轉換層300包括一感光層310及一載子傳輸層320,感光層310位於載子傳輸層320上,載子傳輸層320位於畫素電極(第一電極210、第二電極220)及感光層310之間。 1A is a top view of an image sensor according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, and FIG. 1B is a cross-sectional view taken along line 1B-1B' of FIG. 1A. As shown in FIGS. 1A-1B, the image sensor 10 includes a pixel sensing circuit 100, a pixel electrode (210, 220), a photoelectric conversion layer 300, and a water and oxygen protection layer 400. The pixel sensing circuit 100 corresponds to at least a first pixel region P1 and a second pixel region P2 adjacent to each other. The pixel electrode is disposed on the pixel sensing circuit 100. The pixel electrode corresponds to the first pixel region P1 and the second pixel region P2. The pixel electrode includes a first electrode 210 and a second electrode 220 and is electrically connected. To the pixel sensing circuit 100. First electrode 210 The first electrode 210 and the second electrode 220 have different polarities, and the first electrode 210 or the second electrode 220 located in the first pixel region P1 is adjacent to the second pixel. The first electrode 210 or the second electrode 220 having the same polarity in the region P2. The photoelectric conversion layer 300 is disposed on the pixel sensing circuit 300 and the pixel electrode. The photoelectric conversion layer 300 includes a photosensitive layer 310 and a carrier transport layer 320. The photosensitive layer 310 is located on the carrier transport layer 320, and the carrier transport layer 320 is located between the pixel electrodes (the first electrode 210 and the second electrode 220) and the photosensitive layer 310.

光電轉換層300中,感光層310吸收光子後產生激子(exciton),激子再分離成電子和電洞,電子和電洞受電場影響下而分別往兩極移動而形成光電流。實際的操作狀況下,電場的產生可能會來自於電極、光電轉換層300中的各層能階差異、或是外加操作電壓等方式。實施例中,載子傳輸層320可以是電子傳輸層(ETL)或電洞傳輸層(HTL),可提升激子分離及傳導載子,因此可以提升光電轉換層300的整體光電轉換效率。並且,載子傳輸層320也可以具有載子阻擋層(carrier barrier layer)的功能,換言之,可以阻擋載子由電極回流至光電轉換層300,因此可以有效抑制暗電流(dark current)。或者,載子傳輸層320也可以避免感光層310與電極介面間作用,而具有提高電極穩定性功能。 In the photoelectric conversion layer 300, the photosensitive layer 310 absorbs photons to generate excitons, and the excitons are separated into electrons and holes, and the electrons and holes are moved to the two electrodes to form photocurrents under the influence of the electric field. Under actual operating conditions, the generation of the electric field may come from the electrode, the energy level difference of each layer in the photoelectric conversion layer 300, or the applied operating voltage. In the embodiment, the carrier transport layer 320 may be an electron transport layer (ETL) or a hole transport layer (HTL), which can enhance exciton separation and conduct carriers, and thus can improve the overall photoelectric conversion efficiency of the photoelectric conversion layer 300. Further, the carrier transport layer 320 may also have a function as a carrier barrier layer, in other words, it is possible to block the carrier from flowing back to the photoelectric conversion layer 300 by the electrodes, and thus it is possible to effectively suppress a dark current. Alternatively, the carrier transport layer 320 can also prevent the interaction between the photosensitive layer 310 and the electrode interface, and has the function of improving the electrode stability.

實施例中,載子傳輸層320的材料包括氧化鈦(TiO2)、氧化鋅(ZnO)、氧化鋁(Al2O3)、富勒烯衍生物(PCBM)、聚3,4-乙烯基二氧噻吩:聚苯乙烯磺酸鹽(PEDOC:PSS)、氧化鎳(NiO)和/或氧化釩(V2O5)、PFN、乙氧基聚乙烯亞胺(PEIE)、聚乙烯亞胺(PEI)、三氧化鉬(MoO3)、三氧化鎢(WO3)、LiF(氟化鋰)、4,7-二苯基-1,10-菲羅啉(bphen,bathophenanthroline)、8-羥基喹 啉鋁(Alq3),但不限於此。 In the embodiment, the material of the carrier transport layer 320 includes titanium oxide (TiO 2 ), zinc oxide (ZnO), aluminum oxide (Al 2 O 3 ), fullerene derivative (PCBM), poly 3,4-vinyl Dioxythiophene: polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOC: PSS), nickel oxide (NiO) and/or vanadium oxide (V 2 O 5 ), PFN, ethoxylated polyethyleneimine (PEIE), polyethyleneimine (PEI), molybdenum trioxide (MoO 3 ), tungsten trioxide (WO 3 ), LiF (lithium fluoride), 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (bphen,bathophenanthroline), 8- Aluminum hydroxyquinolate (Alq3), but is not limited thereto.

由於電場的產生可能會來自於電極、光電轉換層300中的各層能階差異、或是外加操作電壓,而電子和電洞會受電場影響而形成光電流,因此當載子傳輸層320作為載子阻擋層的功能時,可以經由能階匹配選擇適用的材料,便可以不犧牲太多光電轉換效率而有效地降低暗電流(dark current)。 Since the generation of the electric field may come from the energy level difference of the electrodes, the layers in the photoelectric conversion layer 300, or the applied operating voltage, the electrons and the holes may be affected by the electric field to form a photocurrent, so when the carrier transport layer 320 serves as a load When the sub-barrier layer functions, the applicable material can be selected via energy level matching, and the dark current can be effectively reduced without sacrificing too much photoelectric conversion efficiency.

於一實施例中,載子傳輸層320與畫素電極形成之一能障(energy barrier)例如是大於影像感測器的一操作電壓。舉例而言,載子傳輸層320與畫素電極形成之能障例如是大於影像感測器的操作電壓約0.3電子伏特(eV)。如此一來,可以避免因為施加操作電壓而造成電極上的電子或電動具有足夠能量越過能障而產生暗電流。 In one embodiment, an energy barrier formed by the carrier transport layer 320 and the pixel electrode is, for example, greater than an operating voltage of the image sensor. For example, the energy barrier formed by the carrier transport layer 320 and the pixel electrode is, for example, greater than about 0.3 electron volts (eV) of the operating voltage of the image sensor. In this way, it is possible to avoid that the electrons or electric power on the electrode have sufficient energy to pass the energy barrier to generate a dark current due to the application of the operating voltage.

The pixel isolation structure 200 is disposed on the pixel sensing circuit 100. In an embodiment, the pixel electrode includes a first electrode 210 and a second electrode 220 , and the first electrode 210 and the second electrode 220 are electrically connected to the pixel sensing circuit 100 . The photoelectric conversion layer 300 is disposed on the pixel sensing circuit 100, and the photoelectric conversion layer 300 is located in the pixel isolation structure 200, and a top surface 300a of the photoelectric conversion layer 300 is lower than a top surface 200a of the pixel isolation structure 200.

實施例中,如第2A圖所示,光電轉換層300的頂表面300a和畫素隔離結構200的頂表面200a之一高度差△H例如是大於0,可依各種製程做調整。舉例而言,一實施例中,高度差△H可以例如是大於或等於0.1微米。一些實施例中,光電轉換層300的高度例如是0.2~0.5微米,畫素隔離結構200的高度例如是>0.2微米。一些其他實施例中,光電轉換層300的頂表面300a和畫素隔離結構200的頂表面200a也可以齊平(未繪示於圖式中),則高度差△H例如是等於0(相當於不具有高度差)。 In the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2A, the height difference ΔH of the top surface 300a of the photoelectric conversion layer 300 and the top surface 200a of the pixel isolation structure 200 is, for example, greater than 0, and can be adjusted according to various processes.

第9A圖繪示本揭露內容之更另一實施又之影像感測器之上視圖。本實施例中與前述實施例相同或相似之元件係沿 用同樣或相似的元件標號,且相同或相似元件之相關說明請參考前述,在此不再贅述。本實施例與前述實施例之差別主要在於第一電極210和第二電極220之配置的設計。 FIG. 9A is a top view of an image sensor according to still another implementation of the disclosure. The same or similar component of the embodiment as in the previous embodiment For the same or similar components, the related descriptions of the same or similar components are referred to the foregoing, and are not described herein again. The difference between this embodiment and the foregoing embodiment is mainly in the design of the configuration of the first electrode 210 and the second electrode 220.

一些實施例中,第一電極210和第二電極220之其中一者環繞第一電極210和第二電極220之其中另一者。如第9A圖所示,影像感測器90-1中,第二電極220定義複數個畫素區P1~P2,光電轉換層區塊300-1和300-2分別對應畫素區P1和P2設置,光電轉換層區塊300-1和300-2彼此分隔開來。 In some embodiments, one of the first electrode 210 and the second electrode 220 surrounds the other of the first electrode 210 and the second electrode 220.

實施例中,如第9A圖所示,第二電極220環繞第一電極210,因此相鄰的畫素區以第二電極220彼此相鄰。第二電極220環繞單一個畫素區,使得單一個畫素區內的訊號會留在該畫素區內,而不會串音(crosstalk)到相鄰的另一個畫素區中,而影響到隔壁的畫素區。舉例而言,第二電極220環繞畫素區P1,使得畫素區P1因照光而產生的光電流侷限在畫素區P1中,不會串音至相鄰的畫素區P2中。 In the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9A, the second electrode 220 surrounds the first electrode 210, and thus the adjacent pixel regions are adjacent to each other with the second electrode 220. The second electrode 220 surrounds a single pixel region, so that the signal in a single pixel region remains in the pixel region without crosstalk to another adjacent pixel region, and the effect is affected. Go to the pixel area next door. For example, the second electrode 220 surrounds the pixel region P1 such that the photocurrent generated by the pixel region P1 due to illumination is confined in the pixel region P1 and does not crosstalk to the adjacent pixel region P2.

第10A圖~第10D圖繪示依照本發明之一實施例之一種影像感測器(如第2A圖所示的影像感測器20-1)之製造方法示意圖。以下係參照第2A圖及第10A圖~第10D圖描述依照本發明之一實施例之一種影像感測器之製造方法。本實施例中與前述實施例相同或相似之元件係沿用同樣或相似的元件標號,且相同或相似元件之相關說明請參考前述,在此不再贅述。 10A to 10D are schematic views showing a manufacturing method of an image sensor (such as the image sensor 20-1 shown in FIG. 2A) according to an embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, a method of manufacturing an image sensor according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 2A and 10A to 10D. The same or similar components as those of the above-mentioned embodiments are denoted by the same or similar components, and the related descriptions of the same or similar components are referred to the foregoing, and are not described herein again.

如第10A圖所示,首先,提供矽基板及其上的畫素感測電路100。 As shown in FIG. 10A, first, a germanium substrate and a pixel sensing circuit 100 thereon are provided.

接著,如第10B圖所示,設置畫素電極及畫素隔離 結構200於畫素感測電路100上。如第10B圖所示,畫素電極包括第一電極210和第二電極220電性連接至畫素感測電路100。實施例中,以一個製程製作第一電極210和第二電極220於畫素感測電路100上,如此一來,第一電極210和第二電極220可以在同一個製程中製作完成,具有簡化製程的優點。 Next, as shown in Figure 10B, set the pixel electrode and pixel isolation Structure 200 is on pixel sensing circuit 100. As shown in FIG. 10B, the pixel electrode includes a first electrode 210 and a second electrode 220 electrically connected to the pixel sensing circuit 100. In the embodiment, the first electrode 210 and the second electrode 220 are formed on the pixel sensing circuit 100 in a single process, so that the first electrode 210 and the second electrode 220 can be fabricated in the same process, which is simplified.

然後,如第10C圖所示,設置光電轉換層300於畫素感測電路100上,且光電轉換層300的頂表面300a低於畫素隔離結構200的頂表面200a。實施例中,以一個塗佈或蒸鍍製程製作光電轉換層300於畫素感測電路100上。因為頂表面200a和頂表面300a之高度差△H的設計,而自然使得製作完成的光電轉換層300被畫素隔離結構200隔離在一個畫素中,因此不會發生相鄰的畫素中的光電轉換層300發生串音(cross talk)的議題。 Then, as shown in FIG. 10C, the photoelectric conversion layer 300 is disposed on the pixel sensing circuit 100, and the top surface 300a of the photoelectric conversion layer 300 is lower than the top surface 200a of the pixel isolation structure 200. In the embodiment, the photoelectric conversion layer 300 is formed on the pixel sensing circuit 100 by a coating or evaporation process. Because of the design of the height difference ΔH between the top surface 200a and the top surface 300a, the photoelectric conversion layer 300 is completely isolated by the pixel isolation structure 200 in one pixel, so that adjacent pixels do not occur. The photoelectric conversion layer 300 has a problem of cross talk.

接著,如第10D圖所示,形成水氧保護層400。水氧保護層400包覆畫素感測電路100、畫素隔離結構200以及光電轉換層300。至此,製作完成如第10D圖(第2A圖)所示的影像感測器20-1。 Next, as shown in FIG. 10D, a water oxygen protective layer 400 is formed. The water oxygen protective layer 400 covers the pixel sensing circuit 100, the pixel isolation structure 200, and the photoelectric conversion layer 300.

如第2B圖所示的影像感測器20-2之製造方法與前述實施例之差別主要在於光電轉換層300的設計。本實施例中,製作感光層310之前,先形成載子傳輸層320於畫素隔離結構200上,接著再製作感光層310於載子傳輸層320上,以形成光電轉換層300。 The manufacturing method of the image sensor 20-2 as shown in FIG. 2B differs from the foregoing embodiment mainly in the design of the photoelectric conversion layer 300. In this embodiment, before the photosensitive layer 310 is formed, the carrier transport layer 320 is formed on the pixel isolation structure 200, and then the photosensitive layer 310 is formed on the carrier transport layer 320 to form the photoelectric conversion layer 300.

The difference between the manufacturing method of the image sensor 30 shown in FIGS. 3A to 3B and the embodiment shown in FIG. 2A is mainly that the pixel isolation structure 200 to be fabricated has a different structure.

Because of the design of the height difference ΔH between the top surface 200a and the top surface 300a, the completed photoelectric conversion layer 300 is naturally isolated by the pixel isolation structure 200, and is separated in a plurality of pixel regions. Since a plurality of photoelectric conversion layer blocks are generated, the problem of cross talk of the photoelectric conversion layer 300 (multiple photoelectric conversion layer blocks) in adjacent pixels does not occur. Thus far, the image sensor 30 shown in Fig. 11C (Figs. 3A to 3B) is completed.
