摘要： A first shallow trench isolation region is disposed in the silicon semiconductor layer laterally adjacent to a photodetector while a second shallow trench isolation region is disposed in the silicon semiconductor layer laterally adjacent to other electrical components in a pixel. The first and second shallow trench isolation regions each include a trench disposed in the silicon semiconductor layer that is filled with a dielectric material. An isolation layer having the second conductivity is disposed only along a portion of a bottom and only along a sidewall of the trench immediately adjacent to the photodetector. The isolation layer is not disposed along the other portion of the bottom and along the other sidewall of the trench adjacent the photodetector. The isolation layer is not disposed along the bottom and sidewalls of the trench adjacent to the other electrical components.

摘要： Trenches are formed in a substrate or layer and a solid source doped with one or more dopants is deposited over the image sensor such that the solid source fills the one or more trenches and is disposed on the surface of the substrate. The surface of the image sensor is then planarized so that the solid source remains only in the trenches. A thermal drive operation is performed to cause at least a portion of the one or more dopants in the solid source to diffuse into the portions of the substrate or layer that are immediately adjacent to and surround the sidewall and bottom surfaces of the trenches. The diffused dopant or dopants form passivation regions that passivate the interface between the substrate or layer and the sidewall and bottom surfaces of the trenches.

摘要： The present invention is a structure for a fast-dump gate (FDG) and a fast-dump drain (FDD) for a charge coupled device. It is envisioned that the charge coupled device be a horizontal readout register of a solid-state image sensor. This structure uses a third layer of polysilicon (or other suitable gate material) to form the fast-dump gate which is in addition to the other two layers of gate material used to form the gates in the horizontal readout register. This allows the channel region under the fast-dump gate (FDG) to form without the use of highly-doped channel stop regions thereby eliminating any potential wells or barriers that may result in transfer inefficiency often time found with other structures.
