AI Technical Summary
In traditional PPD pixel structures, the clamping layer is formed by ion implantation, which introduces implantation damage defects on the surface of the photodiode. This makes it difficult to completely suppress photoelectron recombination, limiting quantum efficiency and sensitivity. At the same time, the performance is easily damaged under radiation.
A back-illuminated radiation-resistant PPD pixel structure with enhanced absorption is adopted. By depositing a high-k dielectric layer and a reflective metal layer with a small work function on the surface of the photodiode, a hole-sensing layer is formed, which avoids high-dose ion implantation, reduces surface defects, and uses the reflective metal layer to reflect long-wavelength light to improve absorption efficiency.

Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of image sensors, and relates to an enhanced absorption back-illumination anti-radiation PPD pixel structure and an implementation method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Due to the promotion of complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) process technology in very large scale integration (VLSI) manufacturing, CIS (CMOS Image Sensors, CIS) has developed rapidly in recent years, and photoelectric sensing modules and image signal processing modules are integrated on the same chip, thereby greatly reducing the development cost and shortening the development cycle. Pixel units (referred to as pixels) play an important role in the entire sensor system, are responsible for converting optical image signals into electrical signals, are the units that truly realize "sensing", and are the core of image sensors. Therefore, in-depth and sufficient research based on pixel units has great significance and value for the development of image sensors.
[0003] The PPD (Pinned Photodiode) structure has many advantages. First, the PPD structure has good short-wave light charge collection capability, and improves the blue quantum efficiency, because the introduction of the pinning layer moves the light-sensitive collection area of the photodiode upward. + The introduction of the pinning layer moves the light-sensitive collection area of the photodiode upward, has good short-wave light charge collection capability, and improves the blue quantum efficiency; secondly, the photodiode changes from single-junction depletion to double-junction depletion, increases the collection volume of the light-sensitive area, and improves the sensitivity and dynamic range of the pixel; thirdly, the pinning type structure can pin the light-sensitive node to a fixed potential, thereby increasing the potential difference between the charge storage node and the light-sensitive node, and being beneficial to the complete transfer of the charge to the storage node; finally, the design of the buried light-sensitive collection area weakens the influence of the recombination of photoelectrons at the Si-SiO2 interface defects in the photocharge collection process, and greatly reduces the dark current of the pixel. The PPD pixel is paid great attention by researchers due to its superiority in many aspects of performance and the wide range of potential application fields, and therefore has great research significance and value.
[0004] However, the clamping layer in the traditional PPD pixel structure is formed by ion implantation, so that injection damage defects are introduced on the surface of the photodiode in the process of implantation. Although the presence of the clamping layer can inhibit the recombination of photoelectrons on the surface of the photodiode, the injection damage is distributed in a certain direction from the surface to the body, and the recombination effect of the introduced defects on the photoelectrons is difficult to completely inhibit, thereby limiting the quantum efficiency, sensitivity and anode current characteristics of the PPD pixel. Therefore, it is necessary to explore a PPD pixel design that can reduce the defects on the surface of the photodiode, thereby further improving the efficiency of the image sensor. In addition, CIS has important applications in the field of aerospace technology. Artificial satellites are the core of aerospace technology, and image sensors are the "eyes" of artificial satellites. From deep space exploration to ground environment monitoring, image sensors play an important role. However, the space environment is more complex than the daily living environment, and the space is full of various radiation. The space radiation environment mainly comes from cosmic rays, solar flare radiation, inner and outer Van Allen radiation belts around the earth, solar wind, aurora, solar X-rays and electromagnetic radiation with a wide spectrum range. The main components of the above radiation sources are high-energy protons, high-energy electrons and various rays. Space radiation is extremely easy to damage the performance of semiconductor devices, causing different degrees of failure of microelectronic systems, resulting in their inability to work normally. For the precise microelectronic system of CIS, radiation will cause damage to the pixel device, resulting in a significant decrease in imaging quality. Therefore, it is also necessary to explore a pixel reinforcement structure design that can guarantee the excellent performance of CIS while realizing the anti-radiation characteristics. SUMMARY

[0020] The doping concentration of the epitaxial layer is 1×10 15 ~ 5×10 15 cm -3 , and the thickness is 2-5 μm.
[0021] The well implantation region needs several times of boron ion implantation, comprising the following steps:
[0022] First, implant energy is 140-160 keV, and implant dose is 1×10 13 ~ 2×10 13 cm -2 ;
[0023] Then, implant energy is 290-310 keV, and implant dose is 1×10 12 ~ 3×10 12 cm-2 ;
[0024] The final energy injection is 70-90keV, and the injection dose is 1*10 12 -3*10 12 cm -2 .

[0033] Further, in the PPD structure, the thickness of the high-k dielectric layer covering the photodiode and the isolation shallow trench surface is only 10-15 nm, so the amount of charges generated in the oxide layer by the irradiation effect is greatly reduced, and the irradiation effect is well inhibited.

For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0046] The application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0047] Reference should be made to Figure 1For the hole accumulation layer induced by the pixel structure in the application, it includes epitaxial layer 10, well implantation area 11, transmission tube threshold adjustment implantation layer 12, gate oxide layer 13, gate 14, PD implantation area 15, FD area 16, high-k dielectric layer 17, FD ohmic contact metal 18, reflective metal layer 19 and passivation layer 20. First, shallow trench isolation is performed on the lightly doped epitaxial layer 10, and the formed isolation shallow trench is not filled temporarily; then ion implantation is performed to form the well implantation area 11 and define the transmission tube area; ion implantation is performed to form the transmission tube threshold adjustment implantation layer 12; then the gate oxide layer 13 and the gate 14 are deposited and the gate is patterned; the PD implantation area 15 and the FD area 16 are formed by self-aligned implantation process respectively, and annealing is performed for activation; the high-k dielectric layer 17 is deposited to cover the device surface, including the PD implantation area 15 and the isolation shallow trench; the thin oxide layer on the surface of the FD area 16 is removed, the ohmic contact metal 18 is deposited and annealing is performed; then the reflective metal layer 19 with a smaller work function is deposited under the high-k dielectric layer 17; and the passivation layer 20 is deposited on the surface of the device. By depositing the high-k dielectric layer 17 and the reflective metal layer 19 on the surface of the PD implantation area 15 and the isolation shallow trench, the work function difference between the metal and the semiconductor is utilized to induce holes on the surface of the semiconductor PD, forming a surface hole accumulation layer similar to the traditional PPD, and by connecting the reflective metal layer 19 and the epitaxial layer 10 to the power supply ground together, the potential clamping of the PPD surface induced hole layer is realized. Compared with the traditional PPD structure, the PPD pixel structure proposed by the application avoids forming the clamping layer on the surface of the photodiode by high-dose ion implantation, thereby reducing the defects introduced by implantation damage on the surface of the PPD, reducing the recombination of photoelectrons on the surface of the photodiode, improving the quantum efficiency of the pixel unit, and utilizing the work function difference between the filled isolation shallow trench metal and the semiconductor to generate induced holes to form a potential barrier between the PD and the isolation shallow trench, avoiding the recombination center introduced by high-energy isolation well implantation, which is beneficial to improve the conversion efficiency. In addition, since the high-k dielectric layer 17 covering the surface of the photodiode and the isolation shallow trench in the PPD structure proposed by the application is very thin, the amount of charges generated by the irradiation effect in the oxide layer is greatly reduced, which also means that the structure has a good inhibitory effect on the irradiation effect, especially on the total dose effect. At the same time, the hole accumulation layer induced on the surface of the photodiode by the gold semi-work function is similar to the clamping layer on the surface of the traditional PPD, which is a potential barrier on the path of photoelectrons moving to the surface in the photodiode, which can effectively reduce the recombination of photoelectrons on the surface, further inhibiting the influence of the irradiation effect on the charges introduced in the surface oxide layer. Generally, in the process of depositing the high-k dielectric layer 17, it is easy to form electron traps therein, which become negative centers after trapping electrons, which also helps to induce a hole accumulation layer on the surface of the PD.
[0048] Referring to Figure 2As shown in Fig. 2, the schematic diagram of the reflection of the incident light by the pixel structure of the present application and the enhancement of the absorption, the reflective metal layer 19 is not only the key to the PPD forming the clamping layer in the anti-radiation pixel, but also the reflective layer for the incident light of the back-illuminated pixel. Especially for the incident light with longer wavelength, the transmission path in the back-illuminated pixel is longer, and the incident light can easily pass through the whole epitaxial layer to reach the metal interconnection layer, so that the collection of the incident light by the photodiode in the epitaxial layer will be limited. The introduction of the reflective metal layer 19 makes the incident light with longer wavelength reflect at the reflective metal layer 19 after passing through the whole photodiode, and then the reflected incident light enters the photodiode again, so that the incident light can be fully absorbed to further improve the quantum efficiency.
[0049] After the shallow trench etching in the shallow trench isolation (STI) process, the epitaxial layer 10 is not directly isolated and filled in the shallow trench, but the transmission tube threshold adjustment implantation 12, the gate preparation (including the patterning of the gate oxide layer 13 and the gate 14), and the PD implantation region 15 and the FD region 16 are first completed, and then the isolation shallow trench is filled when the high-k dielectric layer 17 and the reflective metal layer 19 are deposited on the surface of the PD. The high-k dielectric layer 17 covers the whole device surface by ALD, including the PD implantation region 15, the gate 14, and the isolation shallow trench, and the high-k dielectric layer 17 covering the ohmic contact and the gate contact hole is selectively removed in the subsequent process. The main function of the high-k dielectric layer 17 is to avoid the direct contact between the reflective metal layer 19 and the photodiode surface to form a leakage, and the thin layer design not only ensures the effective generation of holes by the reflective metal layer 19 on the semiconductor surface, but also effectively reduces the number of charges introduced by the radiation effect in the oxide layer. The material of the metal layer 19 deposited below the high-k dielectric layer 17 (for the back-illuminated) needs to be selected as a single element metal or an alloy with a work function at least E g / 2 lower than the work function of the PD surface semiconductor, and needs to cover below the high-k dielectric layer 17 (for the back-illuminated) and fill the isolation shallow trench. In addition, considering the process conditions and design redundancy, the reflective metal layer 19 has an overlapping design on the gate 14, and the overlapping length is required to be 1 / 3-1 / 2 of the length of the gate 14.
