Publication number: 20240266380Abstract: Trenches for a back side deep trench isolation (BDTI) structure are formed using two etches: a high-aspect ratio etch and a mouth etch. The trenches have an upper part (the mouth) that is wider and the lower part of the trenches. The lower part is narrower and has a higher aspect ratio than the upper part. The trenches exhibit a step change in width between the upper part and the lower part. The depth of the lower part may be fixed to provide an aspect ratio that is high but limited to an aspect ratio at which the lower part may be consistently filled without creating voids. The overall depth of the trenches may be varied by adjusting the depth of the mouth area. The resulting BDTI structure provides an image sensor with better optical performance characteristics than may be achieved using a single trench etch.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 6, 2023Publication date: August 8, 2024Inventors: Sin-Yao Huang, Sheng Chieh Chuang, Shu Yen Kung, Shin-Sheng Huang
