The present invention can present in a variety of manners, below will describe some of them example.
Figure 1A is the vertical view of the photodiode of first embodiment of the invention.Figure 1B is the sectional view of the photodiode of first embodiment of the invention.The semiconductor structure of the photodiode of the present embodiment is described below in conjunction with Figure 1A and Figure 1B.Photodiode 1 comprises silicon base 11, has the first semiconductor regions 12 of the first conduction type.First semiconductor regions 12 is formed in silicon base 11.Preferably, the first semiconductor regions 12 by spreading N-type or p type impurity formation in silicon base 11.Preferably, the first semiconductor regions 12 is formed as rectangle.Wherein, the first semiconductor regions 12 is formed with multiple concave configuration 12a in light receiving surface side.
In Figure 1A and Figure 1B, concave configuration 12a is multiple grooves of parallel or non-parallel setting.Alternately, concave configuration 12a can also be the multiple pits being formed at light receiving surface side with array way.Described pit can be square, circular or other arbitrary shape.
Photodiode 1 can also comprise second semiconductor regions 13, first electrode 14 and second electrode 15 with the second conduction type.Preferably, the second semiconductor regions 13 is formed as the open annular around the first semiconductor regions 12.First electrode 14 is arranged on the first semiconductor regions, is connected with the first semiconductor regions 12.Preferably, the first electrode 14 is formed as ring-type.Second electrode 15 is arranged on the second semiconductor regions, is connected with the second semiconductor regions 13.Preferably, the second electrode 15 is set to the shape identical with the second semiconductor regions.
First conduction type is the one in N-type or P type, and the second conduction type is the another kind in N-type or P type.
First semiconductor regions 12 with the first conduction type and silicon base 11 or the semiconductor regions being formed in other type in silicon base 11 form the PN junction of photodiode.First semiconductor regions 12 receives visible ray and ultraviolet at sensitive surface, produces charge carrier thus and produces photoelectric current by the space charge region of PN junction, realize visible ray and UV detection.
Fig. 1 C is the sectional view of the photodiode for detecting visible ray.Photodiode 1 ' in Fig. 1 C is substantially identical with the photoelectric diode structure shown in Figure 1B.Both differences are that the sensitive surface of first semiconductor regions of Fig. 1 C is smooth, do not form the concave configuration shown in Figure 1B.
In the present embodiment, silicon base 11 is P-type silicon substrate, and the first semiconductor regions 12 is N+ heavily doped region, and it can utilize N+ particle to diffuse to form in presumptive area silicon base.
In the present embodiment, CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor, complementary metal oxide semiconductors (CMOS)) technique is utilized to make for detecting ultraviolet diode semiconductor structure.Particularly, it can utilize the source-drain area of the nmos device made based on CMOS technology to be formed.
According to the absorption characteristic of light in silicon, the wavelength of light is shorter, then its degree of depth penetrated in silicon is more shallow; Wavelength is longer, then penetration depth is darker.Ultraviolet wavelength ratio is shorter, and therefore, ultraviolet most of photon is absorbed and is converted into photo-generated carrier (electronics, hole) or heat energy in first semiconductor regions very thin surface one deck of silicon base.In addition, according to the characteristic of photodiode, the photo-generated carrier only produced near (in Figure 1B and Fig. 1 C sectional view between two dotted lines) or space charge region in the space charge region of PN junction could form effective photoelectric current and export to testing circuit.In the photodiode 1 ' of the detection visible ray shown in Fig. 1 C, space charge region distance silicon chip surface is comparatively far away, and in main one deck very thin at the first semiconductor regions of photo-generated carrier that ultraviolet produces, cannot form effective photoelectric current, therefore, it is only responsive to visible ray.And pass through in the multiple concave configuration of the surface etch of common photodiode, in the shortening space charge region, bottom of concave configuration and the spacing of silicon chip surface, more ultraviolet can be allowed to arrive space charge region, and the photo-generated carrier that such ultraviolet produces just more can form effective photoelectric current and export.Therefore, the 1 pair of ultraviolet of the photodiode shown in Figure 1A and Figure 1B is more responsive.
Meanwhile, namely there is recessed part in the first semiconductor regions of photodiode 1, there is again the part carried over that some are not etched, and recessed position is used for being converted to photoelectric current by more effective for ultraviolet; Not recessed part can be used for collecting visible photo-generated carrier, and as the path of the photoelectric current of visible ray, the place of all these projections all connects together, and the N pole eventually through photodiode exports.Therefore, the photoelectric current that photodiode 1 exports can characterize ultraviolet intensity and visual intensity sum.
By asking for the difference of the output of photodiode 1 and photodiode 1 ', the detection to uitraviolet intensity can be realized.

As shown in Figure 6B, first the light area that patterned photoresist 66 limits the first photoelectric diode structure 62 and the second photoelectric diode structure 63 can be set.
As shown in Figure 6 C, after etching, passivation layer and the insulating barrier of light area are removed.In the light area of the first photoelectric diode structure 62, the isolation material in the hole of metal level 62e is etched and the first semiconductor regions below hole is exposed.And in the light area of the second photoelectric diode structure 63, metal level 63e is partly exposed, due to the protection of metal level 63e, the isolation material below it is not etched.Thus, the first semiconductor regions of the second photoelectric diode structure 63 does not expose.
Step 5300, carry out silicon etching using metal level as mask.Thus, multiple concave configuration can be formed in the light area of the first photoelectric diode structure.
Etching in this step can use dry etching, isotropism wet etching or anisotropic wet etch.Fig. 6 D shows the state after carrying out isotropism wet etching.First semiconductor regions of the second photodiode 63 is protected, so can not be etched owing to being covered, typically with metal layers 63e.And the part of the first semiconductor regions of the first photodiode 62 below metal level 62e is exposed, therefore, concave configuration can be formed in corresponding position.
Step 5400, etch the first photoelectric diode structure 62 and the metal level of the second photoelectric diode structure 63 and the insulating barrier of below.Thus, the first semiconductor regions of the first photoelectric diode structure 62 and the second photoelectric diode structure 63 is exposed, as illustrated in fig. 6e.
The present embodiment can also comprise the photoresist 66 formed in step 5500 (not shown), removal step 5100.
Thus, ultraviolet detector integrated circuit can be obtained, as fig 6 f illustrates.
Preferably, can also by the first semiconductor region area deposition antireflection film exposed, Deposition of protective layer, then carries out scribing encapsulation.
Thus, the first semiconductor regions of the first photoelectric diode structure is covered by pertusate metal level, by the first semiconductor regions not having pertusate metal level to cover the second photoelectric diode structure, the photodiode of ultraviolet detection photodiode and visible ray sensitivity can be manufactured based on standard semi-conductor processes (such as CMOS technology) simultaneously, reduce production cost.
The foregoing is only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, be not limited to the present invention, to those skilled in the art, the present invention can have various change and change.All do within spirit of the present invention and principle any amendment, equivalent replacement, improvement etc., all should be included within protection scope of the present invention.
