以下、図7A~図7Dを参照しながら、本実施形態に係る固体撮像装置について説明する。本実施形態によれば、図17Cに示す従来例の固体撮像装置における高速駆動化についての課題、及び、図17Dに示す従来例の固体撮像装置における画素高集積度化についての課題が改善される。
図7Bに示す画素領域では、図7Cの横(行)方向に繰り返し配列されたB-B’線上の最初の画素を構成する第1のシリコン柱P11(図7Bの第1のシリコン柱2)、コンタクトを構成する第2のシリコン柱C11(図7Bの第2のシリコン柱3a)のみを図示している。実際の固体撮像装置では、画素を構成する第1のシリコン柱P11、コンタクトを構成する第2のシリコン柱C11を一対とし、これらが縦(列)方向及び横(行)方向に2次元状に配列されている。本実施形態の固体撮像装置では、信号線N+層5a(5),5b,5cが縦(列)方向に延びるように形成されている。これら信号線N+層5a(5),5b,5c上に、第1のシリコン柱P11~P33と、第1のシリコン柱P11~P33に隣接して横(行)方向に配列されるように、コンタクトを構成する第2のシリコン柱C11~C33を形成する。これと同時に、周辺駆動・出力回路領域にゲート導体層7aa(7a),7ab,7acに接続されるように第3のシリコン柱36a(3b),36b,36cを形成する。第1、第2のシリコン柱P11~P33、C11~C33の下方領域は、信号線N+層5a(5),5b,5cに接続されている。ゲート導体層7aa(7a),7ab,7acが、横(行)方向に延びるように、かつ、第1~第3のシリコン柱P11~P33,C11~C33の外周に形成されている。さらに、ゲート導体層7aa(7a),7ab,7acは、周辺駆動・出力回路領域において、第3のシリコン柱36a(3c),36b,36cまで延在している。これと同様に、画素選択線導体層14a(14d),14b,14cが、図7Cにおける横(行)方向に延びるように、かつ、第1~第3のシリコン柱P11~P33、C11~C33の外周に形成されている。画素選択線導体層14a(14d),14b,14cは、横(行)方向に延びるように、かつ、第1、第2のシリコン柱P11~P33,C11~C33の外周に形成されている。さらに、周辺駆動回路領域にて、コンタクトホール16aa(16a),16ab,16acを介して画素選択線金属層17aa(17a),17ab,17ccに接続されている。ゲート導体層7aa(7a),7ab,7acは、第3のシリコン柱36a(3c),36b,36c上に形成されたコンタクトホール37a(16c),37b,37cを介して、ゲート導体層38a(17c),38b,38cに接続されている。信号線N+層5a(5),5b,5cは、コンタクトを構成する第2のシリコン柱C11~C33上に形成したコンタクトホールSC11~SC23を介して、信号線金属層26a(17b),26bに接続されている。これによって、図17Cに示す従来例の固体撮像装置では、画素領域において、画素を構成する第1のシリコン柱P11~P33の最も下方に形成される抵抗の高い信号線N+層116a,116b,116bを介して、信号線が周辺駆動・出力回路領域に取り出されていたのに対して、本実施形態では、電気抵抗の低い信号線金属層26a(17b),26bによって、信号線が取り出されるようになる。この結果、本実施形態の固体撮像装置によれば、従来例の固体撮像装置と比較して高速駆動化が実現される。
即ち、図17Dに示す従来技術では、画素を構成する第1のシリコン柱P11~P33の最も下方に形成される信号線N+層130a,130b,130cを、最も上方に形成される信号線金属層135a,135b,135cに接続するコンタクトホールCH11~CH33は、信号線N+層130a,130b,130cよりも上方に形成するMOSトランジスタのリセットMOSゲート導体層131a,131b,131c、及び、画素選択線導体N+層132a,132b,132cと、平面視において重なるように形成することができない。このため、リセットMOSゲート導体層131a,131b,131c、及び、画素選択線導体N+層132a,132b,132cは、コンタクトホールCH11~CH33を回避するように配線することが必要となる。これに対し、本実施形態では、ゲート導体層7aa(7a),7ab,7ac、及び、画素選択線導体層14a(14d),14b,14cは、コンタクトを構成する第2のシリコン柱C11~C33の外周に沿って、平面視において重なるように形成することができる。この結果、本実施形態の固体撮像装置によれば、従来例の固体撮像装置と比較して画素領域の画素集積度を向上することができる。
以下、図8A、図8Bを参照しながら、本実施形態に係る固体撮像装置について説明する。本実施形態は、第5の実施形態と比較して、固体撮像装置における解像度低下、カラー撮像装置における混色特性が更に向上するとともに、コンタクトホールの作成工程が容易化される。
1.画素の信号電流、又はリセット電流が、低抵抗の信号線金属層83a、83b、83cを通じて画素領域から周辺駆動・信号処理回路に取り出されることによって、固体撮像装置の高速駆動化が実現される。
2.第1のシリコン柱P11~P33の間の画素領域に入射した光が、光を遮蔽するゲート導体層81a,81b,81cと画素選択線導体層82a、82b,82cにより遮蔽されることにより、信号線N+層80a,80b,80cへ到達することが防止され、解像度の向上と、カラー撮像における混色特性の改善が実現する。この解像度及び混色特性の向上は、本来1つの画素に入射した光が、信号線N+層80a,80b,80cへ到達し、信号線N+層80a,80b,80cを囲んだ材料層との多重反射などにより隣接する画素の光電変換領域に入射することによって発生する。
3.コンタクトを構成する第2のシリコン柱C11~C33が、ゲート導体層81a,81b,81cの領域の中に形成されることにより、解像度と混色特性の向上のための、ゲート導体層81a,81b,81cと画素選択線導体層82a,82b,82cの配線の配置が、画素集積度を低下させることなく実現される。
4.画素選択線導体層82a,82b,82cが、コンタクトを構成する第2のシリコン柱C11~C33の外周に形成されないことにより、コンタクトを構成する第2のシリコン柱C11~C33上に設けるコンタクトホールH11~H33の形成が容易となる。
5.コンタクトホール16aa,16ab,16ac,H11~H33,41a,41b,41cが、第1~第3のシリコン柱P11~P33,C11~C33,40a,40b,40c上に、高さが小さく、かつ、同じ深さで形成されるため、容易に製造できるようになる。
以下、図9A、図9Bを参照しながら、本実施形態に係るカラー撮像用固体撮像装置について説明する。
以下、図10A~図10Cを参照しながら、本実施形態に係るPチャネルSGTを用いた半導体装置について説明する。

コンタクトを構成する第2のシリコン柱51cにアクセプタ不純物をイオン注入したSi、又は、シリサイドの導体層59を形成する第2のシリコン柱導体層形成工程と、
第1のシリコン柱51b、第2のシリコン柱51c、及び第3のシリコン柱51aを覆うように、絶縁層60、61を形成し、コンタクトを構成する第3のシリコン柱51a上にコンタクトホール62a、SGTを構成する第1のシリコン柱51b上にコンタクトホール62b、コンタクトを構成する第2のシリコン柱51c上にコンタクトホール62cをそれぞれ形成するコンタクトホール形成工程と、
