摘要： The invention provides a photodiode with an increased charge collection area, laterally spaced from an adjacent isolation region. Dopant ions of a first conductivity type with a first impurity concentration form a region surrounding at least part of the isolation region. These dopant ions are further surrounded by dopant ions of the first conductivity type with a second impurity concentration. The resulting isolation region structure increases the capacitance of the photodiode by allowing the photodiode to possess a greater charge collection region while suppressing the generation of dark current.

摘要： A method of fabricating an integrated circuit includes forming an isolation trench in a semiconductor substrate and partially filling the trench with a dielectric material so that at least the sidewalls of the trench are coated with the dielectric material. Ions are implanted into the substrate in regions directly below the isolation trench after partially filling the trench with the dielectric material. The dielectric along the sidewalls of the trenches can serve as a mask so that substantially all of the ions implanted below the isolation trenches are displaced from the active regions. After the ions are implanted in the substrate below the trenches, the remainder of the trench can be filled with the same or another dielectric material. The trench isolation technique can be used to fabricate memory, logic and imager devices which can exhibit reduced current leakage and/or reduced optical cross-talk.
摘要翻译：一种制造集成电路的方法包括在半导体衬底中形成隔离沟槽，并用电介质材料部分地填充沟槽，使得至少沟槽的侧壁被电介质材料涂覆。在用介电材料部分地填充沟槽之后，将离子注入到隔离沟槽正下方的区域中的衬底中。沿着沟槽的侧壁的电介质可以用作掩模，使得注入到隔离沟槽下方的基本上所有的离子从活性区域移位。在离子注入到沟槽下方的衬底中之后，沟槽的其余部分可以用相同或另一种电介质材料填充。沟槽隔离技术可用于制造可以显示减少的电流泄漏和/或减少的光学串扰的存储器，逻辑和成像器件。

摘要： More complete charge transfer is achieved in a CMOS or CCD imager by reducing the spacing in the gaps between gates in each pixel cell, and/or by providing a lightly doped region between adjacent gates in each pixel cell, and particularly at least between the charge collecting gate and the gate downstream to the charge collecting gate. To reduce the gaps between gates, an insulator cap with spacers on its sidewalls is formed for each gate over a conductive layer. The gates are then etched from the conductive layer using the insulator caps and spacers as hard masks, enabling the gates to be formed significantly closer together than previously possible, which, in turn increases charge transfer efficiency. By providing a lightly doped region on between adjacent gates, a more complete charge transfer is effected from the charge collecting gate.

摘要： A capacitor for a memory device is formed with a conductive oxide for a bottom electrode. The conductive oxide (RuOx) is deposited under low temperatures as an amorphous film. As a result, the film is conformally deposited over a three dimensional, folding structure. Furthermore, a subsequent polishing step is easily performed on the amorphous film, increasing wafer throughput. After deposition and polishing, the film is crystallized in a non-oxidizing ambient.

摘要： A CMOS imager having an improved signal to noise ratio and improved dynamic range is disclosed. The CMOS imager provides improved charge storage by fabricating a storage capacitor in parallel with the photocollection area of the imager. The storage capacitor may be a flat plate capacitor formed over the pixel, a stacked capacitor or a trench imager formed in the photosensor. The CMOS imager thus exhibits a better signal-to-noise ratio and improved dynamic range. Also disclosed are processes for forming the CMOS imager.

摘要： An imaging device formed as a CMOS semiconductor integrated circuit includes a buried contact line between the floating diffusion region and the gate of a source follower output transistor. The self-aligned buried contact in the CMOS imager decreases leakage from the diffusion region into the substrate which may occur with other techniques for interconnecting the diffusion region with the source follower transistor gate. Additionally, the self-aligned buried contact is optimally formed between the floating diffusion region and the source follower transistor gate which allows the source follower transistor to be placed closer to the floating diffusion region, thereby allowing a greater photo detection region in the same sized imager circuit.
