Problems solved by technology

More importantly, in the process of shrinking the device size in order to integrate more pixel units, due to the reduction of the physical gate length of the transfer transistor with a planar structure, the short channel effect or punch-through occurs, and the gate cannot effectively control the transmission of electrons.

Abstract

The invention discloses an image sensor pixel unit. The image sensor pixel unit comprises photoelectric diodes, a transmission transistor, a floating diffusion region and a readout circuit connected to the floating diffusion region, wherein the transmission transistor has a slot gate; an arc-shaped structure which is convex outwards is arranged at the bottom of the slot gate; and an arc-shaped channel region is formed along the bottom of the arc-shaped structure. The invention also provides a manufacturing method for the image sensor pixel unit; and the transmission transistor gate length can be greatly improved while the short channel effect and the punchthrough effect of a device can be improved consequently.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of image sensors, in particular to an image sensor pixel unit and a manufacturing method thereof. Background technique [0002] An image sensor refers to a device that converts optical signals into electrical signals, and is an important part of a digital camera. According to the different components, it can be divided into two categories: CCD (Charge Coupled Device, charge coupled device) and CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor, metal oxide semiconductor device). Generally, for a CCD or CIS common image sensor, each pixel unit includes a photodiode PD, a transfer transistor, a row gate transistor, a reset transistor, and a source follower transistor. Wherein, at the source end of the transfer transistor is a photodiode, which is used to convert the collected optical signal into an electrical signal (electrons); at the drain end of the transfer transistor is a floating diffusion region, an...
