Definitions
- the present invention relates to an optical sensor consisting of an arrangement of pixel units (pixels), each pixel unit comprising and comprising an optoelectronic converter for converting the incident radiation into an intensity and wavelength-dependent charge quantity as well as a storage device for the charge quantity and a transport device for charge quantity packages from a control device which provides the control signals for all the pixel units and a readout control device for reading out the stored charge quantities, the image irradiated onto the sensor being able to be composed of the pixel unit-related measured values.
- pixels pixel units
- each pixel unit comprising and comprising an optoelectronic converter for converting the incident radiation into an intensity and wavelength-dependent charge quantity as well as a storage device for the charge quantity and a transport device for charge quantity packages from a control device which provides the control signals for all the pixel units and a readout control device for reading out the stored charge quantities, the image irradiated onto the sensor being able to be composed of the pixel unit-related measured values.
- Electronic image sensors are known and are manufactured in different technologies. Such sensors are constructed in such a way that a number of light conversion elements (pixels) are arranged in a suitable manner, usually as a single line or arranged in columns and lines as a matrix.
- image sensors which work according to the charge shifting technology (charge coupled device sensors, hereinafter referred to as CCD sensors)
- CCD sensors charge coupled device sensors, hereinafter referred to as CCD sensors
- an image projected onto the sensor is converted by the pixels into an electrical charge which is approximately proportional to the amount of light incident at the pixel location.
- the charge carriers that are generated in each pixel are located in localized areas in integrated a semiconductor substrate, which, for. B. can consist of crystalline silicon, so that approximately proportional signal charge packets arise with the exposure time.
- control signals are changed after the integration time in such a way that the signal charges are shifted sequentially until they reach reading electronics, where they are converted into a voltage proportional to the signal charge.
- image-evaluating or image-utilizing units such as a recording device.
- At least one semiconductor layer to which an external electrical voltage can be applied, is arranged upstream of each pixel unit in the direction of light incidence, the absorption and / or collection properties of the at least one semiconductor layer being so variable that for different ones from the outside Component applied electrical voltages charge carriers, which are generated by radiation of different wavelengths, are collected.
- Color-resolving image sensors are characterized in that more than one signal has to be detected for each pixel.
- the three color components red, green and blue are divided into three. Only these color signals taken together result in the complete color information of a pixel, which can be reproduced from the three linearly independent individual signals, for example in the context of a signal transmission path.
- the invention is based on the problem of recording an image scene and converting it into electrical signals in such a way that several partial images are generated which differ in the weighting of the different spectral components contained in the scene.
- the breakdown into the blue, green and red spectral ranges has proven to be very advantageous, since this spectral weighting enables a colored reproduction of image scenes adapted to the human eye.
- the methods for generating the spectrally weighted partial images can be roughly divided into two types.
- the first type of such color imaging method uses several CCD sensors, the spectral sensitivities of which differ in that color filters are introduced into the respective beam paths of the individual CCD sensors.
- Corresponding CCD sensors are described, for example, in A.J.P. Theu Giveaway, Solid-State Imaging with Charge-Coupled Devices, Kluwer Academic Publishers, Dordrecht, Chap. 6.2.4, pp. 171ff., 1995.
- This method has the disadvantage that the individual beam paths must be adjusted so that they lead to completely identical images of the scene on the image sensors, since otherwise the reconstructed color partial images cannot be combined congruently, which results in color distortions.
- the second existing type of color imaging method uses special CCD sensors, in which, by applying a plurality of color filters in a mosaic, adjacent pixels are made sensitive to different spectral ranges.
- CCD sensors in which, by applying a plurality of color filters in a mosaic, adjacent pixels are made sensitive to different spectral ranges.
- CCD sensors for example on AJP Theu Giveaway, Solid-State Imaging with Charge-Coupled Devices, Kluwer Acade ic Publishers, Dordrecht, Kap. 6.2.2, p. 168ff., 1995. While the color sub-images of these sensors are automatically congruent to one another in this way, the effective resolution in this method drops by a factor of three to four, since three or four adjacent sensor pixels are required in order to extract the complete color information of a pixel .
- a combination of an optical detector with a CCD sensor can be found in the article "A 2-million-pixel CCD Image Sensor Overlayed with an Amorphous Silicon Photoconversion Layer", S. Manabe, Y. Mastunaga, A. Furukawa, K. Yano, Y. Endo, R. Miyagawa, Y. Iida, Y. Egawa, H. Shibata, H. Nozaki, N. Sakuma, N. Harada, IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices, 38 (8), pp.
- CCD sensors are known, which consist of amorphous silicon. Due to the high defect density of this material and the resulting short lifespan and mobility of the charge carriers, they can only be stored and transported in amorphous silicon over extremely short periods of time, so that the material appears to be unsuitable for the construction of CCD sensors.
- the invention has for its object a color resolution image sensor in the
- the devices required for transporting the signal charges can be arranged on the side of the sensor facing the direction of incidence next to the color-sensitive photoconversion elements.
- the devices required for transporting the signal charges are located on the side of the sensor facing away from the direction of light incidence.
- the geometrical arrangement of the pixels a distinction is made between line sensors in which the sensor pixels are arranged in a single line and surface sensors which consist of a two-dimensional pixel matrix.
- the detector structure applied to the CCD sensor consists of additional semiconductor layers which result in a component structure which can be controlled in terms of its spectral sensitivity.
- the photoconverter can be formed exclusively by the additional semiconductor layers.
- the semiconductor substrate which forms the CCD sensor is itself part of the detector structure.
- a particularly preferred embodiment of color image sensors according to the invention provides for the use of multilayer systems based on amorphous silicon or its alloys as a color-selective detector, the spectral sensitivity of which can be changed with the aid of the applied electrical voltage.
- Corresponding optoelectronic components in thin-film technology are known from (DE P 44 41 444 or PCT / EP 95/0341.
- the sensitivity can be switched between different linearly independent color sensitivities in such a way that the color information is sequential in time
- the multilayer structure forming the detector or part of the detector is usually immediately, ie without additional electrically conductive or dielectric layers are applied to the semiconductor substrate.
- the known components make use of the wavelength dependency of the absorption coefficient, according to which short-wave light is absorbed near the surface of the detector and generates charge carriers there, while the penetration depth of the light increases with increasing wavelength, so that photo-induced charge carriers are also generated in deeper layers of the structure .
- a location-dependent charge carrier collection profile which can be influenced, for example, by applying an external voltage, it is possible to extract charge carriers from certain areas of the detector structure and thus to implement a variable spectral sensitivity.
- the inventive coupling of such a detector with a CCD sensor located on a semiconductor substrate ensures that some of the charge carriers which are generated in the detector structure and are separated as a result of the electric field are drifted or diffused via the contact between the applied semiconductor layers and the semiconductor substrate, which is usually a heterojunction, get into the inversion layer of the CCD pixels, where they be accumulated and stored as a signal charge until after the end of the integration period it is transported in the direction of readout electronics by appropriate clocking of the CCD.
- the controllable spectral sensitivity of the optical detector means that the size of the charge accumulated in the inversion layer of a CCD pixel corresponds to the intensity of the illumination impinging on the pixel in accordance with the respective spectral sensitivity and can therefore be regarded as a color signal.
- an electrode of the detector element is formed by the (appropriately doped) semiconductor substrate. Charge carriers generated photoelectrically in the substrate therefore contribute to the sensitivity of the sensor.
- the optical detector can be designed, for example, in such a way that the semiconductor layers on the substrate are designed for selectivity between the colors blue and green and the sensitivity to red is provided by the substrate itself. Another possibility is to use a thin-film detector to selectively resolve the entire range of visible light according to the primary colors red, green and blue and to additionally utilize the sensitivity to infrared light associated with the crystalline silicon substrate.
- TCO Transparent Conductive Oxide
- the voltage can also be applied between the TCO layer and an electrode which is insulated from the semiconductor substrate and which can be, for example, an electrode which can be assigned to the device which carries out the charge transport.
- An advantageous further development of the method consists in applying a control voltage to the detector structure in such a way that all pixels have the same color sensitivity during an integration phase. This makes it possible to completely break down an image scene to be recorded into certain color components. This can e.g. B. can be advantageous if only specific color information is of interest.

- FIGS. 1 a, 1 b each show a cross section through a sensor according to the invention using a ni'i detector structure 02, 03, 04, which forms a ni'ipp + color detector in connection with the substrate 05, 06 of the CCD component. This consists of a layer sequence which is formed from two i-layers with different bandgap and a doped layer which is contacted via a TCO layer.
- the properties of the two i-layers should be selected such that the layer with the higher band gap (i 'layer) faces the light incident side and the layer with the smaller band gap (i layer) faces the light incident side.
- the i and i 'layers can e.g. B. consist of hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si: H) or its alloys. Pure a-Si: H can be used in the i-layer, while the i '-layer z. B. is mixed with carbon so that the band gap is increased.
- the i 'layer can consist of pure a-Si: H, while the i-layer z. B. is mixed with germanium, so that their band gap is reduced compared to that of the i 'layer.
- Fig. La shows the structure of such a color image sensor in the yz plane; the same image sensor in the xy plane can be seen in FIG. 1b.
- the substrate 05 and thus the detector structure 02, 03, 04 are preferably contacted via the channel delimiters 06 which are customary in image sensors using charge transfer technology and which run along the charge transport path 12.
- the channel delimiters 06 are customary in image sensors using charge transfer technology and which run along the charge transport path 12.
- a separate substrate connection is also possible.
- the mode of operation of the color image sensor is based on the fact that the CCD component functions on the one hand as a charge transport system. on the other hand Long-wave light is also absorbed in its substrate 05, which leads to the generation of charge carriers that are collected in the inversion zone 08.
- the substrate 05 is therefore part of the detector itself.
- 2a, 2b or 3a, 3b can be optimized by introducing additional doped layers between the two i-layers 03, 04 or between the i-layer 04 facing away from the direction of incidence 11 and the substrate 05 such that the Color selectivity can be adapted to a desired value range of the bias voltage U F 09.
- the doping type, the doping level and the thickness of the layers can be used to set a profile of the electric field strength in the two i-layers 03, 04 and in the substrate 05 that is required for optimal color separation.
- the doped layer 14 introduced between the i-layer 04 facing away from the light incidence side 11 and the substrate 05 can be a component of the substrate 05.
- B. consist of crystalline silicon, as well as part of the applied detector structure, so z. B.
- a further embodiment consists in that an i * layer is introduced between the i-layer 04 facing away from the light incidence side 11 and the substrate 05, the band gap of which is the lowest of the three i-layers. In this way it can be achieved that the major part of the incident light is absorbed in the detector system, so that the charge transfer structure only serves to transport the charge carriers. In this way, a structure can also be generated which can select more than three spectral ranges. All of the aforementioned structures can be used for the purpose of setting field strength profiles with doped layers between the individual i-layers and the lowest i-layer and the substrate 05. Furthermore, doping profiles other than those shown can be used, e.g. B. also pi'ipp + - or ni'inn + - or structures derived therefrom.
- a ni'i detector 02, 03, 04 made of amorphous silicon is applied to the side of a CCD sensor facing the direction of light incidence, which has a p-doped substrate 05, the functioning of the sensor is described in more detail below.
- the detector itself is supplied with a control voltage U F 09 on the light incidence side 11 via a TCO layer 01, with which the color sensitivity is adjusted.
- the opposite contact is formed by p + -doped channel delimiters 06 of a row of the CCD component.
- the substrate 05 of the CCD not only functions as a charge transport system but also has the task of absorbing long-wave light.
- Charge transfer structure are transported to those that were generated in the substrate 05 as a result of absorption of long-wave light (red) if the detector structure 02, 03, 04, 05 without
- Voltage supply is operated, or with such a bias voltage 09, which does not allow injection of charge carriers into the inversion zone 08. If the preload 09 is low, the charge carriers generated in the i-layer 04 by the absorption of light of medium wavelength (green) are additionally injected into the inversion zone 08 of the charge transfer structure and transported there. If the bias voltage 09 is increased further, the charge carriers generated in the i 'layer 03 as a result of the absorption of short-wave light (blue) are finally injected into the inversion zone 08. Thus z. B.
- FIG. 4 shows an embodiment that is complementary to FIG.
- the layer of amorphous silicon 02 facing the light incidence side there is replaced by a pa-Si: H layer 30, and the channel-limiting p + diffusions 06 have been omitted.
- the principle of operation has remained the same, however.
- Charge carriers from the amorphous multilayer structure 30, 03, 04 are collected in the inversion zone 08 and read out by applying suitable clocks 10.
- the charge carriers coming from the thin-film system 30, 03, 04 are mainly collected in the n + diffusion 31.
- the charge integrated in the collective diffusion 31 is transferred by applying a transfer signal 33 to the transfer gate 32 via the inversion layer formed under the transfer electrode 32 into the CCD memory cell 08, where it can be transported further using the CCD charge transport system 10 .
- an additional read-out diffusion can also be used, to which the charge carriers accumulated in the collective diffusion pass through the inversion layer formed under the transfer gate and from which they can be read out via a contact.
- MOS Metal Oxide Semiconductor
- the color-selective detector structure is designed so that it has a spectral selectivity between red and blue.
- the basic circuit on which the measurement is based is sketched in FIG. 6.
- FIG. 6 shows a possible implementation of a color signal generating device according to the invention. Thick arrows each symbolize an unspecified number of digital signals, while thin arrows each represent an analog signal.
- the symbolically represented image sensor 40 with the color pixels 41 according to the invention is controlled by the clock signals 42 of the control device 43 in such a way that all pixels have the same color sensitivity during an integration phase, in this example first for red, then for green and then for blue.
- the red image generated in the first integration phase is made available by the preliminary stage 45, digitized by the analog-digital converter 46 to digital signals 47 and stored in a memory 48 for the red image.
- the green image generated in the subsequent integration phase is digitized after completion of the same via the same signal path 44, 45, 46, 47 and stored in a second memory 49.
- the blue image is also stored in the third memory 50.
- the stored pixel color values are read out 56, 57, 58 sequentially by the digital-to-analog converters 59, 60, 61 into the analog signals red signal 62, green signal 63 and blue signal 64 and mixed together by the color signal mixer 65 in such a way that an output 66 is applied to them complete color signal is available, which can be processed by subsequent stages.
- a suitable signal form is, for example, the known and standardized CVBS signal, in which brightness, color and synchronization signals are mixed together.
- the above-mentioned components for color signal generation can be implemented with the image sensor 40 on the same chip substrate or on a hybrid substrate or circuit board.
- the measured variable consists in the displacement current 17 through the MOS structure 15 contained in each CCD sensor pixel. For this purpose, it is controlled by the accumulation into the deep inversion with the aid of a pulse generator 16 and the resulting current 17 is determined via the voltage drop of a resistor 18.
- the entire measuring system thus forms an RC element.
- the capacitance 15 of the MOS structure changes during such control on the one hand during the transition from the accumulation to the deep inversion and, which is decisive in the following, during the subsequent charge carrier accumulation in the inversion zone that is being formed.
- FIGS. 8a, b and 9a, b show the measured current profile 17 from the time of the deep inversion.
- a voltage is applied to the structure in such a way that the charge carriers generated primarily as a result of absorption of long-wave light shorten the time interval ti.
- the influence on the current profile is small compared to the case without illumination, while it is pronounced in the case of illumination with a wavelength of 650 nm.
- the detector is therefore primarily sensitive to red.
- the measuring structure was subjected to voltage such that the detector is sensitive to red and blue. It can be seen from FIGS. 9a, b that both illumination with light with a wavelength of 492 nm and illumination with light with a wavelength of 650 nm now significantly influence the falling edge of the current. The proportion of blue can therefore be determined by comparing the two measurements.
