Abstract:
The present invention relates to a chip-stacked image sensor and to a method for manufacturing the same. More particularly, the present invention relates to a chip-stacked image sensor having a heterogeneous junction structure and to a method for manufacturing the same, in which a first semiconductor chip and a second semiconductor chip are manufactured using substrate materials suitable for the characteristics of sensors formed on each semiconductor substrate, and the semiconductor chips are stacked to form an image sensor. According to the chip-stacked image sensor having a heterogeneous junction structure and the method for manufacturing the same, the material for a first semiconductor substrate used in a first semiconductor chip and the material for a second semiconductor substrate used in a second semiconductor chip are different from each other, thus enabling characteristics of sensors formed on each semiconductor chip to be properly exhibited.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a CMOS image sensor including an infrared pixel with enhanced spectral characteristics in which a stepped portion is formed between color filters of RGB pixels and a filter of an infrared pixel, and a manufacturing method thereof. A stepped portion is formed between color filters and an infrared filter according to respective pixels and the thicknesses of the filters are arbitrarily adjusted regardless of the characteristics of material in the formation of the color filters and the infrared filter, so that crosstalk characteristics are improved.
Abstract:
A technology capable of simplifying a process and securing a misalignment margin when bonding two wafers to manufacture an image sensor using backside illumination photodiodes. When manufacturing an image sensor through a 3D CIS (CMOS image sensor) manufacturing process, two wafers, that is, a first wafer and a second wafer are electrically connected using the vias of one wafer and the bonding pads of the other wafer. Also, when manufacturing an image sensor through a 3D CIS manufacturing process, two wafers are electrically connected using the vias of both the two wafers.
