Description

图像传感器及其形成方法Image sensor and method of forming the same

技术领域technical field

本发明涉及半导体制造技术领域,尤其涉及一种图像传感器及其形成方法。The present invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor manufacturing, and in particular, to an image sensor and a method for forming the same.

背景技术Background technique

图像传感器是将光学图像转换成电信号的半导体器件,由于CMOS图像传感器(CMOS Image Sensor,CIS)具有低功耗和高信噪比的优点,因此在各种领域内得到了广泛应用。Image sensors are semiconductor devices that convert optical images into electrical signals. Because of the advantages of low power consumption and high signal-to-noise ratio, CMOS image sensors (CMOS Image Sensor, CIS) have been widely used in various fields.

在CMOS图像传感器中最常用的Pixel单元包含一个光电二极管PD和四个MOS管,包括转移晶体管TX、复位晶体管RST,源跟随晶体管SF和行选择晶体管RS、以及浮动扩散区FD,可以实现对光电二极管PD的选中、复位、信号输出、信号放大和读出的控制。原理为当光线照射光电二极管PD时,光电二极管PD中就会产生光生载流子的积累,然后通过外部控制电路打开转移晶体管TX,光生载流子就从光电二极管PD流到浮动扩散区FD,浮动扩散区FD既是转移晶体管TX的漏极,又是PN结电容,浮动扩散区FD将光生载流子转变为电压信号输出。The most commonly used Pixel unit in a CMOS image sensor contains a photodiode PD and four MOS transistors, including a transfer transistor TX, a reset transistor RST, a source follower transistor SF, a row select transistor RS, and a floating diffusion region FD, which can realize the photoelectric Control of selection, reset, signal output, signal amplification and readout of diode PD. The principle is that when light irradiates the photodiode PD, photo-generated carriers will accumulate in the photodiode PD, and then the transfer transistor TX is turned on through the external control circuit, and the photo-generated carriers flow from the photodiode PD to the floating diffusion area FD. The floating diffusion region FD is not only the drain of the transfer transistor TX, but also the PN junction capacitance, and the floating diffusion region FD converts photogenerated carriers into voltage signal output.

然而,现有技术的CMOS图像传感器在形成过程中仍存在诸多问题。However, there are still many problems in the formation process of the prior art CMOS image sensor.

Subsequently, the substrate 100 is irradiated with light on the substrate to excite electrons, and the photodiode structure is used to form an electrical signal from the excited electrons.

然而,由于所述第一掺杂区101和所述第二掺杂区102均由离子注入工艺形成,高能的离子注入会对所述衬底100的表面造成损伤,而且在离子注入的过程中,会使得所述第一掺杂区101和所述第二掺杂区102在纵向上的离子浓度分布不均匀,进而影响图像传感器中的像素性能。However, since both the first doped region 101 and the second doped region 102 are formed by ion implantation, the high-energy ion implantation may damage the surface of the substrate 100, and during the ion implantation process , the ion concentration distribution in the longitudinal direction of the first doped region 101 and the second doped region 102 will be uneven, thereby affecting the pixel performance in the image sensor.

在此基础上,本发明提供一种图像传感器及其形成方法,所述第一掺杂外延层和所述第二掺杂外延层的形成工艺均采用外延生长工艺,由于外延生长过程中的薄膜是逐层堆叠的,而且每生长一层薄膜均会掺入离子,进而使得形成的所述第一掺杂外延层内的第一离子浓度分布、以及所述第二掺杂外延层内的第二离子浓度分布的均匀性大大提高。另外,外延生长形成所述第一掺杂外延层和所述第二掺杂外延层不会对所述衬底的表面造成损失,进而使得最终形成的图像传感器的像素性能有效提升。On this basis, the present invention provides an image sensor and a method for forming the same. The formation processes of the first doped epitaxial layer and the second doped epitaxial layer both adopt an epitaxial growth process. It is stacked layer by layer, and ions are added to each film grown, so that the first ion concentration distribution in the first doped epitaxial layer and the first ion concentration distribution in the second doped epitaxial layer are formed. The uniformity of diion concentration distribution is greatly improved. In addition, the formation of the first doped epitaxial layer and the second doped epitaxial layer by epitaxial growth will not cause loss to the surface of the substrate, thereby effectively improving the pixel performance of the finally formed image sensor.
