Image sensor and method of forming the same

Abstract

An image sensor and a method for forming the same, the image sensor comprising: a semiconductor substrate; a number of discrete photodiodes located in the semiconductor substrate, the photodiodes arranged in a matrix; semiconductor photodiodes located between adjacent photodiodes Doped isolation regions in the substrate. The performance of the image sensor described above is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductors, in particular to an image sensor and a forming method thereof. Background technique [0002] Image sensors are semiconductor devices that convert optical image signals into electrical signals. Products with image sensors as key components have become the focus of the current and future industry, attracting investment from many manufacturers. [0003] In terms of product categories, image sensor products are mainly divided into Charge-coupled Device image sensor (CCD image sensor for short), Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor image sensor (CMOS sensor for short). CMOS image sensor is a fast-growing solid-state image sensor. Since the image sensor part and the control circuit part of the CMOS image sensor are integrated in the same chip, the CMOS image sensor has small size, low power consumption, and low price. Compared with The traditional CCD (Charge Coupled) image sensor has more ...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] When the light intensity of the existing image sensor is too large, the potential well of the pixel is filled with electrons, and when the light intensity is further increased, the excess electrons will overflow outward and enter the adjacent pixel area, causing the image to appear halo Phenomenon that seriously affects the imaging quality of the image sensor
