Technical Field
The present application relates to the field of semiconductor manufacturing technology, and in particular, to an image sensor testing structure and an image sensor structure.
Background
In the CIS (CMOS Image Sensor, image sensor) field, photodiodes often generate free electrons due to defects or metal contamination, which can affect the optical signal reading under normal exposure. The number of pixels whose free electrons cause the read value of the optical signal to exceed a certain value in a dark field state (i.e., in the absence of light) is conventionally called the number of White Pixels (WP), which is an important index for evaluating the performance of CIS devices, directly reflects the imaging quality of the devices, and thus, reducing the number of White pixels is a long-term goal of the CIS device manufacturing process.
WP is one of the key parameters for evaluating the performance of CIS devices, and the WP of CIS devices needs to be obtained through a CP (Circuit Probing) test of a customer, but for a wafer factory, there is currently a lack of WP test means, which causes that research personnel in the wafer factory cannot obtain WP related data in time, and thus, immediate adjustment of CIS production cannot be performed. The correlation factors generated by WP are both charge and plasma dependent and hardly can be found to be abnormal in fabrication, so it is necessary to implement a WAT (WAFER ACCEPTANCE TEST ) test structure that can test WP in the wafer fab.
