摘要 |
What is disclosed is an apparatus comprising a transfer gate formed on a substrate and a photodiode formed in the substrate next to the transfer gate. The photodiode comprises a shallow N-type collector formed in the substrate, a deep N-type collector formed in the substrate, wherein a lateral side of the deep N-type collector extends at least under the transfer gate, and a connecting N-type collector formed in the substrate between the deep N-type collector and the shallow N-type collector, wherein the connecting implant connects the deep N-type collector and the shallow N-type collector. Also disclosed is a process comprising forming a deep N-type collector in the substrate, forming a shallow N-type collector formed in the substrate, and forming a connecting N-type collector in the substrate between the deep N-type collector and the shallow N-type collector, wherein the connecting implant connects the deep N-type collector and the shallow N-type collector. A transfer gate is formed on the substrate next to the deep photodiode, wherein a lateral side of the deep N-type collector extends at least under the transfer gate. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.
