Background technique
Imaging sensor refers to the device for converting optical signals to electric signal, usually extensive commercial imaging sensor core Piece includes charge-coupled device (CCD) and complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor chip two major classes.
Cmos image sensor is compared with traditional ccd sensor, has low-power consumption, inexpensive and compatible with CMOS technology The features such as, therefore have been more and more widely used.Present cmos image sensor is applied not only to consumer electronics field, such as micro- In type digital camera (DSC), mobile phone camera, video camera and digital single-lens reflex camera (DSLR), and in automotive electronics, monitoring, biology The fields such as technology and medicine are also widely used.
The pixel unit of cmos image sensor is that imaging sensor realizes photosensitive core devices.Most common pixel list Member is the active pixel structure comprising a photodiode and multiple transistors.Photodiode is photosensitive list in these devices Member realizes collection and photoelectric conversion to light, and other MOS transistors are control units, main to realize to photodiode Choose, reset, signal amplification and read control.
Cmos image sensor is different according to the path that incident light enters photodiode, can be divided into front-illuminated and back-illuminated Two kinds of imaging sensors of formula, the imaging sensor front-illuminated for referring to incident light and entering photodiode from front side of silicon wafer, and back-illuminated Formula refers to that incident light enters the imaging sensor of photodiode from silicon chip back side.
In order to improve the area of photodiode in cmos image sensor and reduce loss of the dielectric layer to incident light, I Can use back-illuminated cmos image sensors technique, i.e., incident light enters photodiode from the back side of silicon wafer, to subtract Loss of the small dielectric layer to incident light, improves the sensitivity of pixel unit.
Silicon materials reduce the absorption coefficient of incident light with the enhancing of wavelength.Conventional pixel cell usually using it is red, green, The filter layer of primary colors.Wherein the wavelength of blue light is 450 nanometers, and the wavelength of green light is 550 nanometers, and the wavelength of feux rouges is 650 Nanometer.Therefore absorption position of the feux rouges in silicon wafer is most deep, and blue light is most shallow.Blue light is inhaled in the position near silicon chip surface It receives, absorption coefficient highest;It is most deep that feux rouges enters silicon wafer, can about enter 2.3 microns of silicon wafer, absorption coefficient is most It is low;Between the two between blue light and feux rouges, and the absorption of near infrared light needs the absorption greater than 2.3 microns to the absorption coefficient of green light Thickness.

In the application of current safety monitoring, machine vision and intelligent transportation system, the light wave of night infrared light filling Length concentrates on 850 nanometers to 940 nanometers, and conventional back-illuminated type pixel unit is insensitive to the light of this wave band.
Therefore, it is necessary to design new back-illuminated type pixel cell structure and forming method, to improve the sensitive of near infrared band Degree and quantum efficiency, promote the night vision effect of product.
