Problems solved by technology

However, if it is formed by the same method as a transistor such as a CMOS logic device, the leakage current increases, and it is impossible to generate an image signal that satisfactorily retains the captured image information.
In the case of displaying an image based on such an image signal, serious image defects are caused
[0040] In addition, when a refractory metal silicide layer is formed on a part of the surface of the diffusion layer constituting the source region and / or the drain region, the leakage current further increases, so it becomes difficult to generate an image signal that satisfactorily retains the captured image information. more difficult

Embodiment approach 2

[0168] The solid-state imaging device according to Embodiment 2 will be described with reference to FIG. 7 showing a cross-sectional view of the first transistor. The solid-state imaging device of Embodiment 2 is the same as the solid-state imaging device of Embodiment 1 except that the configuration of the first transistor is different. Therefore, the same reference numerals are assigned to the same constituent elements as those in Embodiment 1, and repeated descriptions are omitted. The second transistor is the same as that shown in FIG. 2 .

[0169] The first transistor of this embodiment is limited by the silicide block film 16 so that the n on one side (right side) + The edge spacing D11 between the metal silicide layer 4a on the diffusion layer 2 and the gate electrode 15 is larger than n on the other side (left side). + The edge distance D12 between the metal silicide layer 4b on the diffusion layer 2 and the gate electrode 15 is large. form the side of the larger ed...

Embodiment approach 3

[0179] The solid-state imaging device according to Embodiment 3 will be described with reference to FIG. 8 showing a cross-sectional view of the first transistor. The solid-state imaging device of Embodiment 3 is the same as the solid-state imaging device of Embodiment 1 except for the configuration of the first transistor. Therefore, the same reference numerals are assigned to the same constituent elements as those in Embodiment 1, and repeated description is omitted, and only different parts will be described in detail. The second transistor is the same as that shown in FIG. 2 .

[0180] The first transistor of the present embodiment is limited by the sidewall spacer 18 having a larger width than the sidewall spacer of the second transistor, so that the edge distance D13 between the gate electrode 17 and the metal silicide layer 4 is wider than that of the gate of the second transistor. The edge spacing between the electrodes and the metal silicide layer is large.

Abstract

A semiconductor substrate (1) of a solid-state image pickup device is provided with a plurality of photosensitive cells arranged in matrix with a photodiode on each, and a peripheral driving circuit which has a plurality of transistors and drives the photosensitive cells. As the transistors, a first transistor having a first diffusion layer (2) as a source or a drain to which a signal potential corresponding to a signal charge generated by the photodiode is transmitted to be held, and a second transistor having a second diffusion layer as a source and a drain to which the signal potential is not transmitted. An edge interval (D1) between an edge of a metal silicide layer (4) formed on the surface of the first diffusion layer of the first transistor and an edge of a gate electrode (6) is larger than an edge interval between an edge of a metal silicide layer formed on the surface of the second diffusion layer of the second transistor and the edge of a gate electrode. A leak current at the transistor of the peripheral driving circuit is suppressed, and picked up image information can be highly accurately held.
