本申请的发明人经过研究发现,在现有的图像传感器中,部分暗电流是由于不期望波长的光(例如,红外光和紫外光)进入光电二极管而引起的。而且即使采用了滤色器,也还会有些红外光和紫外光进入光电二极管,从而引起暗电流。The inventors of the present application have found through research that, in existing image sensors, part of the dark current is caused by light of undesired wavelengths (eg, infrared light and ultraviolet light) entering the photodiode. And even with color filters, some infrared and ultraviolet light still enters the photodiode, causing dark current.

对此,经过深入研究,本申请的发明人提出了一种新型的图像传感器的结构,其在深沟槽隔离(Deep Trench Isolation,DTI)结构中形成具有与光电二极管材料不同的带隙的半导体材料,用来吸收不期望感测到的光(例如,红外光和/或紫外光),从而减少其可能引起的暗电流。因此,使用本公开的技术可以降低暗电流。In this regard, after in-depth research, the inventors of the present application have proposed a novel image sensor structure, which forms a semiconductor with a different bandgap from the photodiode material in a Deep Trench Isolation (DTI) structure. A material that absorbs undesired sensed light (eg, infrared and/or ultraviolet light), thereby reducing the dark current it may cause. Therefore, dark current can be reduced using the techniques of this disclosure.

在本文中,术语“带隙”指的是半导体材料的导带与价带之间的能带间隙。本领域技术人员均理解,半导体材料的带隙与吸收的光的能量(即,波长)有关。Herein, the term "band gap" refers to the energy band gap between the conduction and valence bands of a semiconductor material. Those skilled in the art understand that the bandgap of a semiconductor material is related to the energy (ie, wavelength) of the absorbed light.

为了更全面、清楚地理解本发明,下面将结合附图来阐述根据本公开的新颖的技术。In order to understand the present invention more comprehensively and clearly, the novel technology according to the present disclosure will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

图1示出了根据本公开一个示例性实施例的图像传感器的截面图。应注意,实际的图像传感器可能还存在之前/后续制造的其它部件,而为了避免模糊本公开的要点,附图没有示出且本文也不去讨论其它部件。本文主要关注DTI结构。FIG. 1 shows a cross-sectional view of an image sensor according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. It should be noted that the actual image sensor may have other components produced before/after, but in order to avoid obscuring the gist of the present disclosure, the drawings do not show and this paper does not discuss other components. This article focuses on the DTI structure.

如图1所示,图像传感器包括衬底101,在该衬底101中形成有光电二极管PD 102。PD 102由第一半导体材料构成。在一些情况下,衬底101可以为简单的半导体晶圆,例如硅晶圆,而PD 102是通过对衬底101进行掺杂形成合适的N型区和/或P型区来形成的,此时,第一半导体材料即为衬底101的材料。但是本发明并不限制PD 102的结构,而为了避免模糊本公开的要点,图中省略了PD 102的具体结构。另外,虽然图中出于简洁的目的把衬底101画成了一个简单的块衬底,但是显然本发明不限于此。衬底101可以由适合于图像传感器的任何半导体材料(诸如Si、SiC、SiGe等)制成,例如可以是单晶硅衬底。在一些实施方式中,衬底101也可以为绝缘体上硅(SOI)、绝缘体上锗硅等各种复合衬底。本领域技术人员均理解衬底101不受到任何限制,而是可以根据实际应用进行选择。衬底101之中和之下还可以形成有其它的半导体器件构件,例如,在早期/后续处理步骤中形成的其它构件等。而且本发明并不限制图像传感器的类型,例如前照式(FSI)和背照式(BSI)都能适用。As shown in FIG. 1 , the image sensor includes a substrate 101 in which a photodiode PD 102 is formed. PD 102 is composed of a first semiconductor material. In some cases, the substrate 101 may be a simple semiconductor wafer, such as a silicon wafer, and the PD 102 is formed by doping the substrate 101 to form a suitable N-type region and/or a P-type region. When , the first semiconductor material is the material of the substrate 101 . However, the present invention does not limit the structure of the PD 102, and in order to avoid obscuring the gist of the present disclosure, the specific structure of the PD 102 is omitted in the figure. In addition, although the substrate 101 is drawn as a simple bulk substrate for the purpose of simplicity in the figure, it is obvious that the present invention is not limited thereto. The substrate 101 can be made of any semiconductor material suitable for image sensors (such as Si, SiC, SiGe, etc.), for example, it can be a single crystal silicon substrate. In some implementation manners, the substrate 101 may also be various composite substrates such as silicon-on-insulator (SOI), silicon-germanium-on-insulator, and the like. Those skilled in the art understand that the substrate 101 is not subject to any limitation, but can be selected according to practical applications. Other semiconductor device components may also be formed in and under the substrate 101 , for example, other components formed in early/subsequent processing steps, and the like. Moreover, the present invention does not limit the type of image sensor, for example, both front-illuminated (FSI) and back-illuminated (BSI) are applicable.

另外,如图1所示,图像传感器还包括深沟槽隔离部103,其从衬底101的一个主表面延伸到衬底中。深沟槽隔离部103布置在PD 102周围。本领域技术人员均理解,对于CMOS图像传感器而言,通常在PD 102与深沟槽隔离部103之间还会形成若干晶体管(例如4个晶体管),其与PD 102共同构成一个像素单元,而深沟槽隔离部103在各个像素单元之间实现隔离。然而,为了简单起见,图中未示出像素单元中的晶体管,而且深沟槽隔离部103也可以视为对各个PD 102进行了隔离。In addition, as shown in FIG. 1 , the image sensor further includes a deep trench isolation portion 103 extending from one main surface of the substrate 101 into the substrate. Deep trench isolation 103 is arranged around PD 102 . Those skilled in the art understand that, for a CMOS image sensor, usually several transistors (for example, 4 transistors) are formed between the PD 102 and the deep trench isolation portion 103, which together with the PD 102 form a pixel unit, and The deep trench isolation part 103 realizes isolation between each pixel unit. However, for the sake of simplicity, the transistors in the pixel unit are not shown in the figure, and the deep trench isolation part 103 can also be regarded as isolating each PD 102 .

另外,为了简单起见,图中只示出了三个PD和其间的两个深沟槽隔离部,但是本领域技术人员均明白,本发明不限于此。通常,一个图像传感器可以包括巨大数量的像素单元以及其间隔离用的深沟槽隔离部。此外,本领域技术人员均能理解,本发明也并不限于图1所示的深沟槽的形状。In addition, for the sake of simplicity, only three PDs and two deep trench isolation parts therebetween are shown in the figure, but those skilled in the art understand that the present invention is not limited thereto. Typically, an image sensor may include a huge number of pixel elements and deep trench isolations for isolation therebetween. In addition, those skilled in the art can understand that the present invention is not limited to the shape of the deep groove shown in FIG. 1 .

深沟槽隔离部103至少包括绝缘材料105和第二半导体材料104,其中绝缘材料105隔离各PD 102,第二半导体材料104的带隙不同于PD 102的第一半导体材料的带隙,用来吸收与待PD 102检测的光不同波长的光。The deep trench isolation portion 103 includes at least an insulating material 105 and a second semiconductor material 104, wherein the insulating material 105 isolates each PD 102, and the band gap of the second semiconductor material 104 is different from that of the first semiconductor material of the PD 102, for Light of a wavelength different from the light to be detected by the PD 102 is absorbed.

在一些实施方式中,第二半导体材料104的带隙小于第一半导体材料的带隙,以使得第二半导体材料104能吸收红外光。例如,第二半导体材料包括SiGe或者TiO2等等。In some embodiments, the bandgap of the second semiconductor material 104 is smaller than the bandgap of the first semiconductor material such that the second semiconductor material 104 absorbs infrared light. For example, the second semiconductor material includes SiGe or TiO 2 or the like.

在另一些实施方式中,第二半导体材料104的带隙大于第一半导体材料的带隙,以使得第二半导体材料104能吸收紫外光。例如,第二半导体材料包括GaN或GaAs之类的III-V族化合物半导体等。In other embodiments, the bandgap of the second semiconductor material 104 is greater than that of the first semiconductor material, so that the second semiconductor material 104 can absorb ultraviolet light. For example, the second semiconductor material includes III-V compound semiconductors such as GaN or GaAs, and the like.

虽然图1中未示出,但是在一些情况下,深沟槽隔离部103不止包括绝缘材料105和第二半导体材料104,而是在第二半导体材料104和绝缘材料105之间和/或在第二半导体材料104和衬底101之间可以包括其它材料层。Although not shown in FIG. 1, in some cases, the deep trench isolation 103 not only includes the insulating material 105 and the second semiconductor material 104, but is between the second semiconductor material 104 and the insulating material 105 and/or between the second semiconductor material 104 and the insulating material 105. Other material layers may be included between the second semiconductor material 104 and the substrate 101 .

例如,在一些实施方式中,深沟槽隔离部103还可以包括第三半导体材料,其中第二半导体材料和第三半导体材料中一者的带隙大于第一半导体材料的带隙以致能吸收紫外光,而另一者的带隙小于第一半导体材料的带隙以致能吸收红外光。优选地,在一些实施方式中,深沟槽隔离部103还可以包括衬垫层和高介电常数材料层,其中所述衬垫层、所述高介电常数材料层、所述第二半导体材料、所述第三半导体材料和所述绝缘材料依次层叠。即,在用于该深沟槽隔离部103的深沟槽中依次形成所述衬垫层、所述高介电常数材料层、所述第二半导体材料、所述第三半导体材料和所述绝缘材料。衬垫层可以包括氧化物,例如氧化硅,用来修复深沟槽的表面损伤(通常是刻蚀深沟槽时带来的),而且便于后续层的形成。高介电常数材料层可以包括HfO或AlO等,用来提高光电二极管的光电流等。For example, in some embodiments, the deep trench isolation portion 103 may further include a third semiconductor material, wherein the band gap of one of the second semiconductor material and the third semiconductor material is larger than that of the first semiconductor material so as to absorb ultraviolet rays. light, while the other has a bandgap smaller than that of the first semiconductor material so as to absorb infrared light. Preferably, in some embodiments, the deep trench isolation portion 103 may further include a liner layer and a high dielectric constant material layer, wherein the liner layer, the high dielectric constant material layer, the second semiconductor material, the third semiconductor material and the insulating material are sequentially stacked. That is, the liner layer, the high dielectric constant material layer, the second semiconductor material, the third semiconductor material and the Insulation Materials. The liner layer may include oxide, such as silicon oxide, to repair the surface damage of the deep trench (usually caused by etching the deep trench) and facilitate the formation of subsequent layers. The high dielectric constant material layer may include HfO or AlO, etc., to improve the photocurrent of the photodiode.

在一些实施方式中,深沟槽隔离部103中的第二半导体材料或第三半导体材料还可以延伸到衬底101的主表面上,即,延伸到PD 102上。优选地,位于PD 102上的半导体材料的带隙大于第一半导体材料的带隙。如果该半导体材料的带隙小于第一半导体材料的带隙,则可能会吸收本应由PD 102感测的光(例如,可见光),从而影响PD 102的性能。In some embodiments, the second semiconductor material or the third semiconductor material in the deep trench isolation 103 may also extend onto the main surface of the substrate 101 , ie onto the PD 102 . Preferably, the bandgap of the semiconductor material on PD 102 is larger than the bandgap of the first semiconductor material. If the bandgap of the semiconductor material is smaller than the bandgap of the first semiconductor material, light that should be sensed by PD 102 (eg, visible light) may be absorbed, thereby affecting the performance of PD 102 .

在一些实施方式中,例如,在一些背照式图像传感器的情况下,上述衬底101的主表面为衬底101的背面,即,从衬底背面形成该深沟槽隔离部103。相比于从衬底正面形成深沟槽隔离部103的情况,这可以避免给衬底正面带来太大损伤以至于影响PD或其他晶体管的性能。通常可以在衬底正面用浅沟槽隔离(STI)部来隔离各个PD。In some embodiments, for example, in the case of some back-illuminated image sensors, the main surface of the substrate 101 is the backside of the substrate 101 , that is, the deep trench isolation portion 103 is formed from the backside of the substrate. Compared with the case of forming the deep trench isolation 103 from the front side of the substrate, this can avoid causing too much damage to the front side of the substrate to affect the performance of the PD or other transistors. Individual PDs can typically be isolated with shallow trench isolation (STI) sections on the front side of the substrate.

在本文中,衬底的“主表面”意指该衬底(例如,硅晶圆)的与厚度方向垂直的两个主要表面。衬底的“正面”指的是其上形成晶体管和金属互连层的那个主表面,而衬底的“背面”为与正面相反的那个主表面。Herein, the "main surface" of a substrate means two main surfaces of the substrate (for example, a silicon wafer) perpendicular to the thickness direction. The "front side" of a substrate refers to that major surface on which transistors and metal interconnect layers are formed, while the "back side" of a substrate is the major surface opposite the front side.

为了更完整全面地理解本发明,下面将以图3A-3G为例来详细描述根据本公开一个示例性实施例的图像传感器制造方法的一个具体示例。本示例特别适用于背照式CMOS图像传感器,其在减薄后的衬底背面形成深沟槽隔离结构。请注意,这个示例并不意图构成对本发明的限制。例如,本发明并不仅限于图3A-3G所示出的图像传感器的具体结构,而是对所有有相同需求或设计考量的图像传感器都适用。上面结合图1-2所描述的内容也可以适用于对应的特征。In order to fully understand the present invention, a specific example of an image sensor manufacturing method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure will be described in detail below by taking FIGS. 3A-3G as an example. This example is particularly applicable to back-illuminated CMOS image sensors, which form deep trench isolation structures on the backside of the thinned substrate. Note that this example is not intended to limit the invention. For example, the present invention is not limited to the specific structures of the image sensors shown in FIGS. 3A-3G , but is applicable to all image sensors with the same requirements or design considerations. The content described above in conjunction with FIGS. 1-2 is also applicable to the corresponding features.

图3A-3G分别示出了在该方法示例的各个步骤处的装置截面示意图。3A-3G respectively show cross-sectional schematic views of the device at each step of the method example.

在图3A处,通常已从衬底101的正面在衬底101中通过离子注入等处理形成了光电二极管PD 102,并且完成了衬底正面的各种处理,且对衬底背面进行了减薄。因此,PD 102由衬底101包含的第一半导体材料构成。然后,从衬底101的背面对衬底101进行刻蚀,从而在PD 102周围形成了深沟槽106。可以通过各种常规手段来刻蚀形成该深沟槽。如前所述,衬底101和PD 102的结构不受到任何限制,而是可以根据实际应用进行选择。In FIG. 3A, the photodiode PD 102 has been generally formed in the substrate 101 from the front side of the substrate 101 through ion implantation and other treatments, and various treatments on the front side of the substrate have been completed, and the back side of the substrate has been thinned. . Thus, PD 102 is composed of the first semiconductor material contained in substrate 101 . Then, the substrate 101 is etched from the back side of the substrate 101 , thereby forming a deep trench 106 around the PD 102 . The deep trenches can be etched by various conventional means. As mentioned above, the structures of the substrate 101 and the PD 102 are not subject to any limitation, but can be selected according to practical applications.

在图3B处,通过热氧化或者沉积处理等,在衬底101的所有暴露的表面上(包括深沟槽106的整个壁上)形成衬垫层107作为缓冲层。衬垫层107可以包括氧化硅等,用来修复前一步的刻蚀处理带来的损伤,避免衬底与后续沉积的材料的失配等。In FIG. 3B , a liner layer 107 is formed as a buffer layer on all exposed surfaces of the substrate 101 (including the entire wall of the deep trench 106 ) by thermal oxidation or deposition process, etc. Referring to FIG. The liner layer 107 may include silicon oxide, etc., and is used to repair the damage caused by the etching process in the previous step, and avoid the mismatch between the substrate and the subsequently deposited materials.

在图3C处,通过化学气相沉积(CVD)等处理,在衬垫层107上保形地沉积高介电常数(High-K)材料层108。该高介电常数材料层108可以包括HfO或AlO等,用来提高光电二极管的光电流等。At FIG. 3C , a high dielectric constant (High-K) material layer 108 is conformally deposited on the liner layer 107 by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) or the like. The high dielectric constant material layer 108 may include HfO or AlO, etc., to improve the photocurrent of the photodiode.

在图3D处,在高介电常数材料层108上保形地沉积一层第二半导体材料104,该第二半导体材料104的带隙大于第一半导体材料的带隙以致能吸收紫外光。第二半导体材料104可以包括像GaN或GaAs之类的III-V族化合物半导体等。At FIG. 3D , a layer of second semiconductor material 104 is conformally deposited on the high dielectric constant material layer 108 , the second semiconductor material 104 having a bandgap greater than that of the first semiconductor material so as to absorb ultraviolet light. The second semiconductor material 104 may include a group III-V compound semiconductor like GaN or GaAs, or the like.

在图3E处,在第二半导体材料104上保形地沉积一层第三半导体材料109,其中第三半导体材料109的带隙小于第一半导体材料的带隙以致能吸收红外光。例如,第三半导体材料109可以包括SiGe或者TiO2等。At FIG. 3E , a layer of third semiconductor material 109 is conformally deposited on second semiconductor material 104 , wherein the third semiconductor material 109 has a bandgap smaller than that of the first semiconductor material so as to absorb infrared light. For example, the third semiconductor material 109 may include SiGe or TiO 2 or the like.

然后,在图3F处,在第三半导体材料109上沉积绝缘材料105(例如氧化硅、氮化硅等),以填满深沟槽106。Then, at FIG. 3F , an insulating material 105 (such as silicon oxide, silicon nitride, etc.) is deposited on the third semiconductor material 109 to fill up the deep trench 106 .

然后,在图3G处,利用例如化学机械抛光(CMP)或回刻(etch back)处理等,去除位于衬底101的背面上的绝缘材料105和第三半导体材料109,而保留了位于背面上的第二半导体材料104、高介电常数材料层108和衬垫层107。保留位于背面上的第二半导体材料104可以更多地吸收紫外光,从而进一步降低暗电流。而去除位于背面上的第三半导体材料109可以避免其对可见光的吸收,避免影响PD的性能。Then, at FIG. 3G, the insulating material 105 and the third semiconductor material 109 on the back side of the substrate 101 are removed by using, for example, chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) or etch back (etch back) processing, while remaining on the back side The second semiconductor material 104 , the high dielectric constant material layer 108 and the liner layer 107 . Remaining the second semiconductor material 104 on the back side can absorb more ultraviolet light, thereby further reducing dark current. However, removing the third semiconductor material 109 on the back side can avoid its absorption of visible light and avoid affecting the performance of the PD.

可替代地,根据需要,也可以进一步去除位于背面上的第二半导体材料104、高介电常数材料层108和/或衬垫层107。Alternatively, the second semiconductor material 104 , the high dielectric constant material layer 108 and/or the liner layer 107 located on the back side may be further removed as required.

如图3G所示,最终在深沟槽106中填充形成了深沟槽隔离部103,其包括从下向上依次层叠的衬垫层107、高介电常数材料层108、第二半导体材料104、第三半导体材料109和绝缘材料105。当然,本领域技术人员均理解,对于本发明而言,衬垫层107和高介电常数材料层108不是必需的,而是可以根据需要来形成。对于第二半导体材料104和第三半导体材料109,也是可以根据需要来形成其中一者或两者,或者可以形成更多的不同带隙的其它半导体材料层。As shown in FIG. 3G , the deep trench isolation part 103 is finally filled and formed in the deep trench 106 , which includes a liner layer 107 , a high dielectric constant material layer 108 , a second semiconductor material 104 , The third semiconductor material 109 and the insulating material 105 . Certainly, those skilled in the art understand that, for the present invention, the liner layer 107 and the high dielectric constant material layer 108 are not necessary, but can be formed as required. For the second semiconductor material 104 and the third semiconductor material 109 , one or both of them can be formed as required, or more layers of other semiconductor materials with different band gaps can be formed.
