SOLID-STATE IMAGING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME
First Claim
1. A method for producing a solid-state imaging device, the solid-state imaging device containing:
- a photoelectric conversion section; and
a charge transfer section having a charge transfer electrode for transferring an electric charge generated in the photoelectric conversion section, comprising;
sequentially laminating a silicon oxide film and a metal oxide thin film on a semiconductor substrate;
forming a first electrode comprising a first conductive film;
forming a silicon oxide film on the top of the first electrode;
anisotropically etching the silicon oxide film by using the metal oxide thin film as an etching stopper to form a sidewall insulating film on the lateral wall of the first electrode; and
forming a second electrode comprising a second conductive film through the sidewall insulating film so as to be insulated and separated from the first electrode.

Abstract
In the solid-state imaging device of the present invention having a photoelectric conversion section and a charge transfer section equipped with a charge transfer electrode for transferring an electric charge generated in the photoelectric conversion section, the charge transfer electrode has an alternate arrangement of a first layer electrode comprising a first layer electrically conducting film and a second layer electrode comprising a second layer electrically conducting film, which are formed on a gate oxide film comprising a laminate film consisting of a silicon oxide film and a metal oxide thin film, and the first layer electrode and the second layer electrode are separated by insulation with an interelectrode insulating film comprising a sidewall insulating film formed by a CVD process to cover the lateral wall of the first layer electrode.
