Problems solved by technology

Since the thickness of the electronic device layer is usually relatively small (about 2um), part of the light with a longer wavelength will penetrate the electronic device layer, and the transmitted light will be reflected back to the electronic device layer at the back-end circuit layer. Due to the angle, These reflected light may be reflected to the adjacent photosensitive area, resulting in crosstalk of signals between adjacent pixel units, resulting in a decrease in image sharpness and poor quality

Abstract

The invention relates to a backside-illuminated image sensor and a manufacturing method thereof. The back-illuminated type image sensor comprises a silicon chip layer, a rear end layer and a light entering layer, wherein the silicon chip layer comprises photodiodes, the photodiodes are used for sensing light to generate electric signals, and the silicon layer is provided with a front surface and a back surface; the rear end layer is arranged on the front surface of the silicon chip layer and comprises transistor grids, a gate oxide, a conductor layer and a dielectric layer; the light entering layer comprises a micro lens layer and a filter film layer and is located on the back surface of the silicon chip layer. The rear end layer further comprises a light absorbing layer which is arranged at a preset position of the rear end layer, and the light absorbing layer is used for absorbing the light transmitted from the silicon chip layer. The light absorbing layer adopted for the backside-illuminated image sensor absorbs the light transmitted from the silicon chip layer, and therefore the chance that the transmitted light is reflected to other pixels is greatly reduced, and mutual crosstalk between the adjacent pixels is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of image sensors, in particular to a back-illuminated image sensor and a manufacturing method thereof. Background technique [0002] In the traditional image sensor (Image Sensor), in the transmission of light, the light first passes through the metal interconnection layer, and then enters the photosensitive diode. Since the photosensitive diode is located behind the circuit transistor, the amount of incoming light will be affected by the metal interconnection The shading of at least one interlayer metal layer and the related gate structure is affected. For this reason, with the development of image sensor technology, a back-illuminated image sensor has been produced. The so-called back-illuminated image sensor is compared to the traditional front The illuminated image sensor turns the direction of the image sensor so that the light first enters the photosensitive diode, thereby increasing the amount of light received...
