Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to anchor structures and methods for forming anchor structures such that planarization and wafer bonding can be uniform. Anchor structures can include anchor layers formed on a dielectric layer surface and anchor pads formed in the anchor layer and on the dielectric layer surface. The anchor layer material can be selected such that the planarization selectivity of the anchor layer, anchor pads, and the interconnection material can be substantially the same as one another. Anchor pads can provide uniform density of structures that have the same or similar material.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a CMOS image sensor, and an associated method of formation. In some embodiments, the CMOS image sensor comprises a floating diffusion region disposed at one side of a transfer gate within a substrate and a photo detecting column disposed at the other side of the transfer gate opposing to the floating diffusion region within the substrate. The photo detecting column comprises a doped sensing layer with a doping type opposite to that of the substrate. The photo detecting column and the substrate are in contact with each other at a junction interface comprising one or more recessed portions. By forming the junction interface with recessed portions, the junction interface is enlarged compared to a previous p-n junction interface without recessed portions, and thus a full well capacity of the photodiode structure is improved.
