Abstract

The invention provides a CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) image sensor and a production method thereof. Through a nano-metal particle layer formed on the surface of a photosensitive device, or formed in a dielectric layer, or formed in a metal wiring layer, surface plasmon polaritons of the nano-metal particle layer are utilized to enhance the light absorption efficiency of the photosensitive device positioned below the nano-metal particle layer; and by controlling the sizes of nano-metal particles of the nano-metal particle layer, the absorption of specific-wavelength light is enhanced. According to the CMOS image sensor, the absorption efficiency of the CMOS image sensor on originally absorbable band light can be enhanced, and also the absorption efficiency of the image sensor on the long wavelength light with a wavelength between 500nm and 1000nm can be effectively improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductors, and relates to a CMOS image sensor and a manufacturing method thereof, in particular to a CMOS image sensor which utilizes surface plasmons of nanometer metal particles to enhance light absorption and a manufacturing method thereof. Background technique [0002] SOI (Silicon-On-Insulator, silicon on insulating substrate) technology introduces a buried oxide layer between the top silicon and the back substrate. By forming a semiconductor thin film on an insulator, SOI material has advantages that cannot be compared with traditional bulk silicon materials: it can realize the dielectric isolation of components in integrated circuits, and completely eliminate the parasitic latch effect in bulk silicon CMOS circuits; using this Integrated circuits made of this material also have the advantages of small parasitic capacitance, high integration density, fast speed, simple process, small short chan...
