Abstract

A semiconductor device and a manufacturing method thereof are disclosed. The semiconductor device includes a silicon substrate, a spacer, a doped region, and a deep trench isolation (DTI). The silicon substrate has a deep trench. The spacer is formed on an upper portion of the sidewall of the deep trench. The doped region is formed on a lower portion of the sidewall of the deep trench. The deep trench isolation is formed in the deep trench.

Claims (16)

1. A semiconductor device, comprising:

a silicon substrate having a deep trench;

a spacer formed on an upper portion of the sidewall of the deep trench, wherein the spacer is located under a top surface of the silicon substrate, and the height of the spacer is about 1.5-4 KÅ;

a doped region formed on a lower portion of the sidewall of the deep trench;

a deep trench isolation (DTI) formed in the deep trench; and

a P well formed in the silicon substrate and adjacent to the spacer, wherein the P well is separated from the doped region by the spacer, and the spacer contacts the P well and the doped region.

2. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the height of the deep trench isolation is 2-4 μm.

3. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the width of the deep trench isolation is about 0.2 μm.

4. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the width of the spacer is about 100-200 Å.

5. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the doped region is adjacent to the spacer.

6. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

at least an NMOS transistor formed in the P well.

7. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a plurality of the deep trench isolations; and

a plurality of pixels in the silicon substrate; wherein the pixels are separated from one another by the deep trench isolations, and each of the pixels has a dimension of about 1.1-1.4μm.

8. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the doped region is p type, and the semiconductor device further comprises an n type-doped region in the silicon substrate.
