Abstract: A method for manufacturing a photodiode CMOS image sensor. A first well and a second well are formed in a first type substrate. An isolation layer is formed over the first well and the second well. At the same time, an isolation layer is formed over another region to pattern out an active region for forming the photodiode. A protective ring layer is formed over the peripheral area of the photodiode active region. A first gate structure and a second gate structure are formed above the first well and the second well respectively. A first type source/drain region and a second type source/drain region are formed in the first well and the second well respectively. Concurrently, a second type heavily doped layer is formed in the first type substrate inside the area enclosed by the protective ring layer. A high-energy ion implantation is carried out to form a second type lightly doped layer in the first type substrate just outside the second type heavily doped layer.

Abstract: A CMOS structure having a silicon dioxide outer ring around the sense region. The CMOS sense structure has a substrate, a n− region, a n+ region, an isolation region, a field implant region and a silicon dioxide outer ring region. The n− region is formed in the substrate, and the n+ region is formed within the n− region. The isolation region is formed in the substrate next to the edge of the n− region. The field implant region is formed under the isolation region. The silicon dioxide outer ring region is formed over the n− region, a portion of the isolation region and a portion of the n+ region. The silicon dioxide outer ring can prevent surface leakage that is caused by etching and lengthening the distance from the n− region to the field implant region so that edge junction leakage is reduced.

Therefore the wafer owns a semiconductor substrate and wherein a first gate oxide layer is formed on the semiconductor substrate. A nitride layer is formed on the gate oxide layer. Then the method will include the following statement. Firstly a deep well layer is formed into the semiconductor substrate. Then patterning oxide layer and the nitride layer is carried out. Thereafter trenches is formed. The portion of silicon nitride layer and gate oxide layer will be etched according to the pattern of the gate oxide layer and the nitride layer. Sequentially first implanting a couple of device cell into the deep well of semiconductor substrate is achieved. Then the couple of device cell is annealed. The whole silicon nitride layer is removed. Not only the second implanting cell device will be obtained but also the third implanting cell device will be achieved.

The metal filled in the trench is used as a metallic reflecting layer to increase the number of photons reaching the depletion region by reflecting part of the aslope incident photons. An insulator is formed on the top of the metallic reflecting layer to electrically insulate the metallic reflecting layer from other conducting device formed by the follow-up process.
