Method of making solid-state imaging device

摘要

A method for producing a solid-state imaging device including a photodetector including implanting two different dopant impurity ions, each producing the second conductivity type and having different diffusion coefficients in a first conductivity type semiconductor layer; thermally diffusing the implanted ions to produce a second conductivity type region including a relatively deep second conductivity type subregion and a relatively shallow second conductivity type region having a higher dopant impurity concentration than said relatively deep second conductivity type subregion; forming a charge transfer electrode on said semiconductor layer such that an edge of said electrode lies adjacent part of the junction between said semiconductor layer and said second conductivity type region; and implanting a dopant impurity producing the first conductivity type in said second relatively shallow second conductivity type subregion using said charge transfer electrode as a mask to produce a first conductivity type impurity diffusion region shallower than said relatively shallow second conductivity type subregion.
