摘要： The present invention relates to a design structure for a pixel sensor cell. The pixel sensor cell approximately doubles the available signal for a given quanta of light. A design structure for a pixel sensor cell having reduced complexity includes an n-type collection well region formed beneath a surface of a substrate for collecting electrons generated by electromagnetic radiation impinging on the pixel sensor cell and a p-type collection well region formed beneath the surface of the substrate for collecting holes generated by the impinging photons. A circuit structure having a first input is coupled to the n-type collection well region and a second input is coupled to the p-type collection well region, wherein an output signal of the pixel sensor cell is the magnitude of the difference of a signal of the first input and a signal of the second input.

摘要： A pixel for an image sensor includes a photosensor located within a substrate. A patterned dielectric layer having an aperture registered with the photosensor is located over the substrate. A lens structure is located over the dielectric layer and also registered with the photosensor. A liner layer is located contiguously upon a top surface of the dielectric layer, and the sidewalls and bottom of the aperture. The liner layer provides for enhanced reflection for off-axis incoming light and enhanced capture thereof by the photosensor. When the aperture does not provide a dielectric layer border for a metallization layer embedded within the dielectric layer, an exposed edge of the metallization layer may be chamfered.

摘要： A novel CMOS image sensor cell structure and method of manufacture. The imaging sensor comprises a substrate having an upper surface, a gate comprising a dielectric layer formed on the substrate and a gate conductor formed on the gate dielectric layer, a collection well layer of a first conductivity type formed below a surface of the substrate adjacent a first side of the gate conductor, a pinning layer of a second conductivity type formed atop the collection well at the substrate surface, and a diffusion region of a first conductivity type formed adjacent a second side of the gate conductor, the gate conductor forming a channel region between the collection well layer and the diffusion region. A portion of the bottom of the gate conductor is recessed below the surface of the substrate. Preferably, a portion of the gate conductor is recessed at or below a bottom surface of the pinning layer to a depth such that the collection well intersects the channel region thereby eliminating any potential barrier interference caused by the pinning layer.
