Abstract: This application discloses a CIS pixel readout structure. An SF and an SG adopt an asymmetric spacer structure, so that the pitch from a lower end of a source metal plug of the SG to SG gate poly can be reduced while keeping the pitch from a lower end of a drain metal plug of the SF to SF gate poly unchanged, thus reducing the pitch from a drain connecting point of the SF to a source connecting point of the SG. Since a source of the SG is not connected with working voltage and it is not influenced by leakage, not only can GIDL current be maintained, but also parasitic resistance can be reduced. Without changing its effective size, it can reduce the parasitic resistance effect while reducing the area of a combined structure of the SF and the SG.

Abstract: This application discloses a CIS pixel readout circuit structure. An SG and an SF adopt different transverse thicknesses of spacers. The spacer of the SG adopts a smaller transverse thickness to reduce the parasitic resistance. The spacer of the SF adopts a larger transverse thickness to reduce the GIDL current. In the CIS pixel readout circuit structure according to this application, drain metal plugs are formed on outer sides of both left and right ends of an SF gate structure. The SF and the SG form a T-shaped combined compact structure to achieve equivalent parallel connection of two SF, thus effectively reducing the parasitic resistance of the share active area between the SG and the SF, and simultaneously saving the space area. This application further discloses a method for fabricating a CIS pixel readout circuit structure.
