Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to a semiconductor device, a solid-state imaging device, and an electronic device, and particularly relates to a semiconductor device, a solid-state imaging device, and an electronic device that can suppress adverse effects due to hot carrier light emission.
- a solid-state imaging device has a photoelectric conversion element, an amplifier circuit, a peripheral circuit for image processing, and a multilayer wiring for connecting elements / circuits on the first main surface (light receiving surface) side on a silicon substrate. A layer is formed. Further, the solid-state imaging device has a cover glass disposed above the first main surface of the chip on which the light collecting structure such as a microlens or a color filter is formed, and the outer peripheral side of the first main surface or the first main surface of the chip. 2 has a structure in which terminals are formed on the main surface side.
- the scale of the peripheral circuit is increased and the processing speed of the peripheral circuit is also increased. Further, if one tries to improve the gradation expression (resolution) as one of the improvement in image quality, a higher voltage is required. On the other hand, in order to realize cost reduction, it is required to arrange the pixel portion and the peripheral circuit at a short distance so as to make the chip size as small as possible.
- Hot carrier light emission is light emission caused by the generation and recombination of electrons and holes generated when carriers accelerated between the source and the drain collide and ionize at the drain end, or state transition of either of them. This light emission is small but steady even in a transistor having no problem in characteristics. The amount of light emission increases exponentially as the voltage applied to the transistor increases.
- the amount of light emission increases even when the transistor is operated at high speed. Light emission diffuses in all directions, so the effect is very small if you move away from the transistor, but if the photoelectric conversion element and the circuit are placed very close, the light emission does not diffuse so much and a significant number of photons are injected into the photoelectric conversion element. Is done. Since the diffusion is insufficient, the generation distribution of hot carrier light emission resulting from the difference in the transistor arrangement density and the active ratio of the circuit is reflected in the image as two-dimensional information. Therefore, there is a need for a structure designed for light shielding in order to keep the injection amount into the photoelectric conversion element below the detection limit.
- Patent Documents 1 and 2 provide a light blocking structure that suppresses the propagation of light between the photoelectric conversion element and the peripheral circuit.
- a light shielding structure or a structure that refracts light is provided in a semiconductor substrate so as to have a height equal to or higher than that of a photoelectric conversion element. Propagation of light by hot carrier emission emitted from the peripheral circuit is suppressed.
- a structure in which an antireflection film that prevents reflection of near-infrared light is formed in order to prevent light generated by the transistor from reaching the back side and reflecting. Is provided.
- Patent Document 1 As shown in FIGS. 7 and 18 of Patent Document 1, it is possible to suppress propagation of holes generated at a depth equal to or more than that of the photoelectric conversion element or in the peripheral circuit section.
- a light shielding structure is formed at a proper depth.
- the component that linearly propagates from the peripheral circuit to the photoelectric conversion element can be blocked, but the light has a wave component so that the light propagates around the lower part of the light shielding structure. End up. That is, a light shielding structure having a depth similar to that of the photoelectric conversion element has insufficient light shielding effect, and propagates through a gap below the light shielding structure. Even if the hole propagation can be prevented, most of the holes are recombined in the very vicinity of the peripheral circuit and changed to an optical component, so that there is almost no suppression effect due to the hole propagation prevention.
- Patent Document 1 also provides a near-infrared antireflection film for suppressing reflection when light generated by hot carrier emission propagates to the back side of the substrate.
- the light generated by the transistor since the light generated by the transistor is radiated in all directions, it also enters the antireflection film at various angles. When this angle falls below a certain angle, light is totally reflected at the interface. Therefore, even if there is an antireflection film, it is very difficult to completely suppress the propagation of light.
- the distance from the transistor to the back side is significantly shortened, and the light propagates to the back side without much attenuation.
- the near-infrared light not only near-infrared light but also blue light reaches the back surface side and cannot be suppressed by the near-infrared antireflection film.
- patent document 2 like patent document 1, although providing a light-shielding structure between a peripheral circuit and a photoelectric conversion element, since it only mentions installing on the path
- Patent Document 2 is characterized in that a light shielding film is provided above the photoelectric conversion unit.
- a light shielding film is provided above the photoelectric conversion unit.
- the back-illuminated solid-state imaging device is provided. Not applicable.
- the optical noise component is greatly increased in the backside illumination type solid-state imaging device, it is very difficult to completely suppress the propagation of light with the technique disclosed in Patent Document 2.
- Patent Documents 1 and 2 cannot prevent light generated by hot carrier emission in the peripheral circuit from propagating through the semiconductor substrate and entering the photoelectric conversion element. It was difficult to suppress the adverse effects of light emission.
- the back-illuminated solid-state imaging device has a large adverse effect because the optical noise component is significantly increased because the semiconductor substrate is thinned.
- light generated by hot carrier light emission may have the same adverse effect on not only photoelectric conversion elements but also highly sensitive analog elements.
- the present disclosure has been made in view of such a situation, and is intended to suppress adverse effects caused by hot carrier light emission.
- a semiconductor device includes an element formation portion in which a plurality of elements are formed, and a wiring portion that is stacked on the element formation portion and in which a wiring that connects the elements is formed.
