  • Patent number: 11251215
    Abstract: Some embodiments relate to an image sensor pixel comprising a transfer gate formed on a first surface of a semiconductor substrate, a floating diffusion formed in the first surface of the semiconductor substrate, and a buried-well vertically pinned photodiode having a charge accumulation/storage region disposed substantially beneath the transfer gate. The transfer gate is spaced away from the floating diffusion such that an intervening semiconductor region provides a potential barrier to charge flow from beneath the transfer gate to the floating diffusion. The transfer gate is operable to control a vertical pump gate to selectively transfer charge from the charge accumulation/storage region to the floating diffusion by pumping charge from the buried charge accumulation/storage region underlying the transfer gate, over the potential barrier, and out to the floating diffusion, such that full charge transfer can be achieved without overlapping the edge of the transfer gate with the floating diffusion.

    Abstract: A substrate is provided with a patterned layer over a stack of one or more processing layers. The processing layers include at least one patterned layer and one etch target layer. CD trimming between the CD of the patterned layer and the CD of the etch target layer may be achieved after the pattern is transferred to the etch target layer.

In an alternate embodiment, plasma etch trim processes may be used in combination with the gas phase etch process. In such an embodiment, partial CD trimming may be achieved via the plasma etching of the various process layers and then additional CD trimming may be achieved by subjecting the etch target layer to the plasma free gas phase etch after the desired pattern has been formed in the etch target layer.
