[0035] The following disclosure provides numerous different implementations or embodiments for carrying out various features of the provided subject matter. Specific embodiments of components and configurations are described below to simplify this disclosure. Of course, these components and configurations are merely embodiments and are not intended to be limiting. For example, in the following description, forming a first feature on or above a second feature may include implementations that form the first and second features in direct contact, and may also include implementations that form an additional feature between the first and second features such that the first and second features are not in direct contact. Furthermore, reference numerals and / or letters may be repeated in various embodiments of this disclosure. This repetition is for simplicity and clarity and does not in itself determine the relationship between the various implementations and / or configurations discussed.

[0036] Furthermore, for ease of description, spatial relative terms (such as "below," "under," "lower," "above," "upper," and similar) are used herein to describe the relationship between one element or feature illustrated in the figures and another element or feature(s). In addition to the orientation depicted in the figures, spatial relative terms are intended to cover different orientations of elements in use or operation. Devices may be oriented in other ways (rotated 90 degrees or otherwise), and the spatial relative descriptive terms used herein will be interpreted accordingly.

[0037] In complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) image sensors, the incident light received by the pixel sensors is often separated into the three primary colors of visible light: red, green, and blue (RGB). This type of CMOS image sensor can be called an RGB image sensor. In an RGB image sensor, individual pixel sensors that read out a specific color of visible light can be defined by using a filter that allows the visible light wavelength range to pass through so that the specific color enters the photodiode. Under low-light conditions (e.g., in situations where visible light is scarce, such as low indoor lighting or at night), RGB image sensors may suffer from poor image quality (e.g., image noise, poor contrast, poor color saturation) because the image sensor cannot capture sufficient red, green, and blue luminance.

[0038] Some embodiments described herein provide techniques and apparatus for pixel arrays comprising octagonal pixel sensors and square pixel sensors. Octagonal pixel sensors can be interspersed with square pixel sensors in the pixel array to increase space utilization and allow for different sizes of the pixel sensors within the array. Furthermore, the pixel array may include combinations of: red, green, and blue pixel sensors for obtaining color information from incident light; yellow pixel sensors for blue and green enhancement and correction of the pixel array; near-infrared (NIR) pixel sensors to improve the outline sharpness and low-light performance of the pixel array; and / or white pixel sensors to improve the photosensitivity and brightness of the pixel array. The ability to configure pixel sensors of different sizes and types allows the pixel array to be formed and / or configured to meet various performance parameters, such as color saturation, color accuracy, noise, contrast, brightness, chroma and saturation, photosensitivity, and outline sharpness.

[0039] Figure 1 This is a diagram of an exemplary environment 100 in which the systems and / or methods described herein can be implemented. (See diagram for example.)

[0042] The developer tool 106 is a semiconductor processing tool capable of developing a photoresist layer that has been exposed to a radiation source to develop a pattern transferred from the self-exposure tool 104 to the photoresist layer.

In some embodiments, the developer tool 106 develops the pattern by removing exposed portions of the photoresist layer. In some embodiments, the developer tool 106 develops the pattern by dissolving the unexposed or exposed portions of the photoresist layer using a chemical developer.

[0043] Etching tool 108 is a semiconductor processing tool capable of etching various types of materials, including substrates, wafers, or semiconductor devices. For example, etching tool 108 may include wet etching tools, dry etching tools, and / or the like. In some embodiments, etching tool 108 includes a chamber filled with an etchant, and a substrate is placed in this chamber for a specific time period to remove a specific amount of one or more portions of the substrate. In some embodiments, etching tool 108 may use plasma etching or plasma-assisted etching to etch one or more portions of the substrate, which may involve isotropically or unidirectionally etching one or more portions using ionized gases.

[0044] Planarization tool 110 is a semiconductor processing tool capable of grinding or planarizing various layers of a wafer or semiconductor device.

[0047] Figure 1 The number and arrangement of the components shown are provided as one or more embodiments. In practice, there may be... Figure 1 The exhibited components are compared to those with additional components, fewer components, different components, or components with different configurations. Furthermore, Figure 1 The two or more components shown can be implemented within a single component, or Figure 1 The single element shown may be implemented as multiple distributed elements.

[0048] Figure 2 This is a diagram of the exemplary pixel array 200 described herein. In some embodiments, the pixel array 200 may be included in an image sensor. The image sensor may be a CMOS image sensor, a backside illumination (BSI) CMOS image sensor, or another type of image sensor. Figure 2 As shown, the pixel array 200 may include a plurality of octagonal pixel sensors 202 and a plurality of square pixel sensors 204. The octagonal pixel sensors 202 and the square pixel sensors 204 may be interspersed, mixed and / or dispersed throughout the pixel array 200.

[0049] like Figure 2 As shown, square pixel sensors 204 can be arranged among and / or surrounded by a subset of octagonal pixel sensors 202 (e.g., four octagonal pixel sensors 202), such that the edges of the octagonal pixel sensors 202 are aligned with the edges of the square pixel sensors 204. This reduces and / or minimizes unused gaps or portions between the pixel sensors of the pixel array 200, which increases the pixel sensor density of the pixel array 200 and increases space utilization in the pixel array 200.

[0050] Furthermore, this particular configuration allows the side length of the octagonal pixel sensor 202 to increase or decrease the size of the square pixel sensor 204 while maintaining a close clustering of pixel sensors in the pixel array 200. For example, the side length of the octagonal pixel sensor 202 facing the square pixel sensor 204 can be decreased to correspondingly decrease the size of the square pixel sensor 204. As another embodiment, the side length of the octagonal pixel sensor 202 facing the square pixel sensor 204 can be increased to correspondingly increase the size of the square pixel sensor 204. Additionally, this particular configuration allows the square pixel sensor 204 to be used with regular octagonal pixel sensors (e.g., octagonal pixel sensors with all sides having the same length) and / or irregular octagonal pixel sensors (e.g., octagonal pixel sensors with two or more sides having different lengths).

[0051] As indicated above, provide Figure 2 As an example, other embodiments may be related to... Figure 2 The descriptions are different.

[0052] Figures 3 to 30 This is a diagram of the exemplary pixel sensor configuration described in this article. Specifically, Figures 3 to 30 An exemplary arrangement of a plurality of octagonal pixel sensors 202 and a plurality of square pixel sensors 204 for pixel array 200 (or a portion thereof) is shown.

[0053] like Figures 3 to 30 The exemplary pixel sensor configuration shown includes various combinations of red, green, blue, yellow, NIR, and / or white pixel sensors. Each of the red, green, and blue pixel sensors can be formed and / or configured to read out an incident light wavelength range associated with a respective color of visible light. For example, the red pixel sensor can be a visible light pixel sensor formed and / or configured to read out an incident light wavelength range corresponding to the red component of visible light (e.g., to provide red information of the incident light), the green pixel sensor can be a visible light pixel sensor formed and / or configured to read out an incident light wavelength range corresponding to the green component of visible light (e.g., to provide green information of the incident light), and the blue pixel sensor can be a visible light pixel sensor formed and / or configured to read out an incident light wavelength range corresponding to the blue component of visible light (e.g., to provide blue information of the incident light). Red, green, and blue pixel sensors can obtain primary color information of the incident light, which can be used by various components (e.g., processors, transistors, memory, and / or other components) to interpolate the full visible light spectrum of the incident light based on a demosaicing algorithm.

[0054] The yellow pixel sensor can be a visible light pixel sensor formed and / or configured to read out the incident light wavelength range corresponding to the yellow component of visible light (e.g., to provide yellow information of the incident light). The yellow pixel sensor can have a greater quantum efficiency performance relative to the green and blue pixel sensors, and therefore can be able to read out more luminance relative to the green and blue pixel sensors. The yellow information obtained from the yellow pixel sensor can be used to interpolate additional green and / or blue information to improve the green and / or blue light performance of the pixel array 200 and / or the image sensor.

[0055] NIR pixel sensors can be configured and / or formed to read out incident light wavelengths associated with invisible infrared light wavelengths close to the visible light wavelength range. For example, NIR pixel sensors can be configured and / or formed to read out an incident light wavelength range in the range of about 700 nanometers to about 1400 nanometers. The electromagnetic radiation emitted by the sun contains more infrared light than visible light, and the infrared light emitted by the sun is mainly composed of NIR light. Therefore, compared to visible light pixel sensors, the NIR pixel sensors of pixel array 200 can read out and obtain more luminance information of the incident light. In this way, the NIR pixel sensors of pixel array 200 can be used to improve the photosensitivity of the pixel array, improve the sharpness of the image generated by the image sensor, and improve the low-light performance of the image sensor.

[0056] The white pixel sensor may be a pixel sensor formed and / or configured to read out the entire visible light wavelength range or substantially the entire visible light wavelength range. The white pixel sensor may be included in the pixel array 200 to provide reference luminance information to improve photosensitivity and / or to improve brightness performance.

[0057] like Figures 3 to 30 As further illustrated, the exemplary pixel sensor configuration includes various combinations of octagonal pixel sensors 202 and square pixel sensors 204 configured as red pixel sensors, green pixel sensors, blue pixel sensors, yellow pixel sensors, NIR pixel sensors, and / or white pixel sensors. The number of red pixel sensors, green pixel sensors, blue pixel sensors, yellow pixel sensors, NIR pixel sensors, and / or white pixel sensors included in the exemplary pixel sensor configuration is an example; the number of octagonal pixel sensors 202 configured as red pixel sensors, green pixel sensors, blue pixel sensors, yellow pixel sensors, NIR pixel sensors, and / or white pixel sensors in the exemplary pixel sensor configuration is an example; and the number of square pixel sensors 204 configured as red pixel sensors, green pixel sensors, blue pixel sensors, yellow pixel sensors, NIR pixel sensors, and / or white pixel sensors in the exemplary pixel sensor configuration is an example. Other exemplary pixel sensor configurations may include: different numbers of red pixel sensors, green pixel sensors, blue pixel sensors, yellow pixel sensors, NIR pixel sensors, and / or white pixel sensors; different numbers of octagonal pixel sensors 202 configured as red pixel sensors, green pixel sensors, blue pixel sensors, yellow pixel sensors, NIR pixel sensors, and / or white pixel sensors; and / or other numbers of square pixel sensors 204 configured as red pixel sensors, green pixel sensors, blue pixel sensors, yellow pixel sensors, NIR pixel sensors, and / or white pixel sensors.

[0058] like Figure 3 As shown, the exemplary pixel sensor configuration 305 may include: a plurality of octagonal pixel sensors 202 configured as NIR pixel sensors; and a plurality of square pixel sensors 204 configured as red pixel sensors, green pixel sensors, and blue pixel sensors. The octagonal pixel sensors 202 may be configured as NIR pixel sensors to provide high outline sharpness and high / low light performance, and the square pixel sensors 204 may be configured as red pixel sensors, green pixel sensors, and blue pixel sensors to provide a small amount of color saturation.

The octagonal pixel sensors 202 may be configured as NIR pixel sensors to provide high outline sharpness and high / low-light performance. The greater the number of square pixel sensors 204 configured as red, green, and blue pixel sensors, and the fewer the number of square pixel sensors 204 configured as NIR pixel sensors, the greater the color saturation, while simultaneously reducing the improvement in outline sharpness and low-light performance provided by the square pixel sensors 204. The fewer the number of square pixel sensors 204 configured as red, green, and blue pixel sensors, and the more square pixel sensors 204 configured as NIR pixel sensors, the lower the color saturation, while simultaneously increasing the contour sharpness and low-light performance provided by the square pixel sensors 204. In some embodiments, the number of square pixel sensors 204 configured as red, green, and blue pixel sensors can range from about 94% to about 75% to emphasize color performance. In some embodiments, the number of square pixel sensors 204 configured as NIR pixel sensors can range from about 50% to about 82% to emphasize contour sharpness and low-light performance.

The greater the number of square pixel sensors 204 configured as red, green, and blue pixel sensors, and the fewer the number of square pixel sensors 204 configured as yellow pixel sensors, the greater the color saturation, while simultaneously reducing the enhancement in blue and green light performance provided by the square pixel sensors 204. The fewer the number of square pixel sensors 204 configured as red, green, and blue pixel sensors, and the more square pixel sensors 204 configured as yellow pixel sensors, the lower the color saturation and the higher the blue and green light performance provided by the square pixel sensors 204. In some embodiments, the number of square pixel sensors 204 configured as red, green, and blue pixel sensors can range from about 94% to about 87% to emphasize color performance. In some embodiments, the number of square pixel sensors 204 configured as yellow pixel sensors can range from about 6% to about 13% to emphasize blue and green light performance.

The octagonal pixel sensors 202 may be configured as NIR pixel sensors to provide high outline sharpness and high / low light performance. The greater the number of square pixel sensors 204 configured as red, green, and blue pixel sensors, and the fewer the number of square pixel sensors 204 configured as white pixel sensors, the greater the color saturation, while simultaneously reducing the increase in light sensitivity and brightness provided by the square pixel sensors 204. The fewer the number of square pixel sensors 204 configured as red, green, and blue pixel sensors, and the more square pixel sensors 204 configured as white pixel sensors, the lower the color saturation, while simultaneously increasing the photosensitivity and brightness provided by the square pixel sensors 204. In some embodiments, the number of square pixel sensors 204 configured as red, green, and blue pixel sensors can range from about 94% to about 87% to emphasize color performance. In some embodiments, the number of square pixel sensors 204 configured as white pixel sensors can range from about 13% to about 38% to emphasize photosensitivity and brightness.

The octagonal pixel sensors 202 may be configured as NIR pixel sensors to provide high outline sharpness and high / low light performance. In some embodiments, the number of square pixel sensors 204 configured as red, green, and blue pixel sensors may range from about 87% to about 68% to emphasize color performance, with the remaining percentage being configured as yellow and NIR pixel sensors.

For example, one or more semiconductor processing tools (e.g., one or more of semiconductor processing tools 102-112) may form a plurality of square pixel sensors 204 interspersed with a plurality of octagonal pixel sensors 202 in pixel array 200 to include: a first set of square pixel sensors 204 configured to read out incident light in a first visible light wavelength range associated with blue light; a second set of square pixel sensors 204 configured to read out incident light in a second visible light wavelength range associated with red light; and a third set of square pixel sensors 204. 4.

[0242] Process 3200 may include other implementations, such as any single implementation, or any combination of the implementations described below and / or in conjunction with one or more other processes described elsewhere herein.

[0243] In a first embodiment, one of the following is included: forming a plurality of octagonal pixel sensors comprises: forming a plurality of octagonal pixel sensors 202 such that it includes a fourth set of octagonal pixel sensors 202 configured to read out the amount of incident light in a fourth visible light wavelength range associated with yellow light, the number of the fourth set of octagonal pixel sensors 202 satisfying blue light performance parameters and green light performance parameters; or forming a plurality of square pixel sensors comprises: forming a plurality of square pixel sensors 204 such that it includes a fourth set of square pixel sensors 204 configured to read out the amount of incident light in a fourth visible light wavelength range associated with yellow light, the number of the fourth set of square pixel sensors 204 satisfying blue light performance parameters and green light performance parameters.

[0244] In the second embodiment, either alone or in combination with the first embodiment, one of the following is included: forming a plurality of octagonal pixel sensors includes forming a plurality of octagonal pixel sensors 202 such that it includes a fifth group of octagonal pixel sensors 202 configured to read out the number of incident light wavelengths of all visible light wavelengths, the fifth group of octagonal pixel sensors 202 satisfying a photosensitivity parameter and a brightness parameter; or forming a plurality of square pixel sensors includes forming a plurality of square pixel sensors 204 such that it includes a fifth group of square pixel sensors 204 configured to read out the number of incident light wavelengths of all visible light wavelengths, the fifth group of square pixel sensors 204 satisfying a photosensitivity parameter and a brightness parameter.

[0245] In the third embodiment, either alone or in combination with one or more of the first and second embodiments, one of the following includes: forming a plurality of octagonal pixel sensors comprising: forming a plurality of octagonal pixel sensors 202 such that it includes a sixth set of octagonal pixel sensors 202 configured to read out the amount of incident light in the NIR wavelength range satisfying low-light performance parameters and contour sharpness parameters, such a number of sixth set of octagonal pixel sensors 202; or forming a plurality of square pixel sensors comprising: forming a plurality of square pixel sensors 204 such that it includes a sixth set of square pixel sensors 204 configured to read out the amount of incident light in the NIR wavelength range, such a number of sixth set of square pixel sensors 204 satisfying low-light performance parameters and contour sharpness parameters.

[0246] Forming a plurality of octagonal pixel sensors 202 and a plurality of square pixel sensors 204 may incorporate various semiconductor process technologies executed by various semiconductor processing tools. Each of the plurality of octagonal pixel sensors 202 and the plurality of square pixel sensors 204 may include various layers and / or semiconductor structures configured to collect and / or absorb incident light. For example, each of the plurality of octagonal pixel sensors 202 and the plurality of square pixel sensors 204 may include a substrate (e.g., a silicon substrate, a substrate formed of a silicon-containing material, a III-V compound semiconductor substrate (such as a gallium arsenide (GaAs) substrate), a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrate, or another type of substrate capable of generating charge from photons of incident light).

[0247] Semiconductor processing tools (e.g., ion implantation tool 112) can form photodiodes for each of the plurality of octagonal pixel sensors 202 and the plurality of square pixel sensors 204 by doping the substrate with various types of ions via diffusion or ion implantation to form pn junctions or PIN junctions (e.g., junctions between p-type portions, intrinsically (or undoped) portions, and n-type portions). For example, the substrate can be doped with an n-type dopant to form a first portion (e.g., an n-type portion) of the photodiode and with a p-type dopant to form a second portion (e.g., a p-type portion). The photodiode can be configured to absorb photons of incident light. Due to the photoelectric effect, the absorption of photons causes the photodiode to accumulate charge (called photocurrent). Here, photons bombard the photodiode, which leads to the emission of electrons from the photodiode. The emission of electrons leads to the formation of electron-hole pairs, in which electrons migrate toward the cathode of the photodiode and holes migrate toward the anode, which generates the photocurrent.

[0248] One or more semiconductor processing tools can form a deep trench isolation (DTI) structure on each side of a photodiode to provide optical isolation between adjacent pixel sensors and reduce optical crosstalk between adjacent pixel sensors. The DTI structure can be formed by: coating a substrate with a photoresist (e.g., using deposition tool 102), patterning the photoresist by exposing it to a radiation source (e.g., using exposure tool 104), removing exposed or unexposed portions of the photoresist (e.g., using developer tool 106), and etching the DTI structure into the substrate based on the pattern in the photoresist (e.g., using etching tool 108). In some embodiments, the DTI structure can be made of materials such as silicon oxide (SiO2). x The oxide material or another dielectric material is used to fill (e.g., using deposition tool 102) and planarize (e.g., using planarization tool 110).

[0249] Semiconductor processing tools (e.g., deposition tool 102) can form an anti-reflective coating on a substrate.

[0250] A semiconductor processing tool (e.g., deposition tool 102) may form a filter layer over the ARC layer. In some embodiments, the semiconductor processing tool may use CVD, PVD, ALD, or another type of deposition technique to deposit the filter layer. The filter layer may comprise an array of filter regions containing filters for each visible light pixel sensor in the pixel array. In this manner, the filter region for each visible light pixel sensor filters the color of the visible light pixel sensor by allowing a specific wavelength of incident light to pass through and reach the corresponding photodiode of the visible light pixel sensor.

[0251] The filter region can be, for example, a blue filter region that allows a portion of the incident light with a wavelength close to 450 nanometers to pass through while blocking other wavelengths, thus defining a blue pixel sensor for pixel array 200. Another filter region can be, for example, a green filter region that allows a portion of the incident light with a wavelength close to 550 nanometers to pass through while blocking other wavelengths, thus defining a green pixel sensor for pixel array 200. Another filter region can be, for example, a red filter region that allows a portion of the incident light with a wavelength close to 650 nanometers to pass through while blocking other wavelengths, thus defining a red pixel sensor for pixel array 200. Yet another filter region can be, for example, a yellow filter region that allows a portion of the incident light with a wavelength close to 580 nanometers to pass through while blocking other wavelengths, thus defining a yellow pixel sensor for pixel array 200.

[0252] The filter layer may also include one or more NIR bandpass filters defining one or more NIR light pixel sensors in the pixel array 200. The NIR bandpass filter allows a portion of the incident light in the NIR wavelength range to pass through while blocking visible light. For white pixel sensors in the pixel array 200, the filter area may be omitted to allow all wavelengths of visible light to pass through the filter layer.

[0253] A semiconductor processing tool (e.g., deposition tool 102) may form a microlens layer comprising a plurality of microlenses formed on and / or on a filter layer. The microlens layer may include individual microlenses for each of the plurality of octagonal pixel sensors 202 and the plurality of square pixel sensors 204 included in the pixel array 200.

[0254] although Figure 32 The example block shows process 3200, but in some implementations, process 3200 may include... Figure 32The blocks depicted may be additional blocks, fewer blocks, different blocks, or blocks with different configurations. Alternatively or concurrently, two or more of the blocks in process 3200 may be executed in parallel.

[0255] In this manner, the pixel array includes octagonal pixel sensors and square pixel sensors. Octagonal pixel sensors can be interspersed with square pixel sensors within the pixel array to increase space utilization and allow for different sizes of the pixel sensors. Furthermore, the pixel array can include combinations of: red, green, and blue pixel sensors to obtain color information from incident light; yellow pixel sensors for blue and green enhancement and correction; NIR pixel sensors to improve the pixel array's outline sharpness and low-light performance; and / or white pixel sensors to improve the pixel array's light sensitivity and brightness. The ability to configure pixel sensors of different sizes and types allows the pixel array to be formed and / or configured to meet various performance parameters, such as color saturation, color accuracy, noise, contrast, brightness, chroma and saturation, light sensitivity, and outline sharpness.
