Image sensor with surface regions of different doping

摘要

A production method for an image sensor which is provided with a plurality of sensor portions arranged on a semiconductor substrate and each having a first photodiode constituted by a first region of a first conductivity type and a second region of a second conductivity type different from the first conductivity type and a second photodiode constituted by the second region and a third region of the first conductivity type. The method includes the steps of: forming a second region of the second conductivity type on a first region defined in a semiconductor substrate by epitaxial growth; and forming a third region of the first conductivity type on the second region by epitaxial growth.
