The present disclosure relates to the technical field of semiconductors, and discloses an image sensor and a manufacturing method therefor. The image sensor includes: a semiconductor substrate; a first active region located on the semiconductor substrate; a doped semiconductor layer located on the first active region; and a contact located on the semiconductor layer, where the first active region includes: a first doped region and a second doped region abutting against the first doped region, wherein the second doped region is located at an upper surface of the first active region, and wherein the second doped region is formed by dopants in the semiconductor layer that are annealed to be diffused to a surface layer of the first doped region. The present disclosure may reduce leakage current and improve device performances.

Image sensor and manufacturing method therefor

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of semiconductors, and discloses an image sensor and a manufacturing method therefor. The method includes: providing a semiconductor structure, where the semiconductor structure includes: a semiconductor substrate, and a first active region located on the semiconductor substrate, the first active region including a first doped region and a second doped region abutting against the first doped region, and the second doped region being located at an upper surface of the first active region; forming a semiconductor layer on an upper surface of the second doped region; and forming a contact connected to the semiconductor layer. The present disclosure enables defects or damages caused when forming the contact to be kept away from a junction field formed by the second doped region and the first doped region. Therefore, leakage current may be reduced and device performances may be improved.

An exemplary TSV interconnect structure includes a semiconductor substrate having a first region and a second region; and a plurality of through-holes disposed in the first region and the second region of the semiconductor substrate. An average through-hole density of the first region is greater than an average through-hole density of the entire semiconductor substrate. The average through-hole density of the entire semiconductor substrate is less than or equal to about 2%. A metal layer having a planarized surface is filled in the plurality of through-holes in the semiconductor substrate.

A spiral inductor formed in a vertical plane relative to a planar surface of a substrate includes a plurality of through holes disposed in the vertical plane and spaced apart from each other, a metal interconnect structure on the top surface, and a redistribution layer on the bottom surface and having at least one bottom metal layer. The metal interconnect structure and the redistribution layer are connected to each other through the plurality of through holes to form the vertical spiral inductor. The thus formed vertical spiral inductor has a significantly reduced surface area comparing with lateral spiral inductors.

An image sensor device includes a top substrate and a subassembly. The top substrate includes a plurality of connection pillars, and the subassembly includes a plurality of connection pads. The connection pillars on the top substrate are bonded to the connection pads in the subassembly. The connection pillars are formed of a first metal and the connection pads are formed of a second metal.

Image sensor device and method of manufacturing the same

This invention disclosed a manufacturing approach of collector and buried layer of a bipolar transistor. One aspect of the invention is that a pseudo buried layer, i.e, collector buried layer, is manufactured by ion implantation and thermal anneal. This pseudo buried layer has a small area, which makes deep trench isolation to divide pseudo buried layer unnecessary in subsequent process. Another aspect is, the doped area, i.e, collector, is formed by ion implantation instead of high cost epitaxy process. This invention simplified the manufacturing process, as a consequence, saved manufacturing cost.

Manufacturing approach for collector and a buried layer of bipolar transistor

This invention disclosed a novel manufacturing approach of collector and buried layer of a bipolar transistor. One aspect of the invention is that an oxide-nitride-oxide (ONO) sandwich structure is employed instead of oxide-nitride dual layer structure before trench etching. Another aspect is, through the formation of silicon oxide spacer in trench sidewall and silicon oxide remaining in trench bottom in the deposition and etch back process, the new structure hard mask can effectively protect active region from impurity implanted in ion implantation process.
