Title:
LIGHT DETECTION DEVICE, METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING LIGHT DETECTION DEVICE, AND ELECTRONIC APPARATUS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2024/057739
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is a light detection device that can reduce the number of steps for a pixel separation part and reduce light scattering in a pixel structure forming an on-chip lens for each of a plurality of pixels. The light detection device comprises a semiconductor substrate, a pixel separation part, and an on-chip lens. The pixel separation part is provided on the semiconductor substrate and separates adjacent pixels from each other. The on-chip lens is disposed in every pixel group composed of two or more pixels on a light incident surface side of the semiconductor substrate, and condenses light from outside onto the pixel groups. The pixel separation part includes an intra-pixel group separation part disposed between adjacent pixels of the pixel groups and having a first dug region extending in the thickness direction of the semiconductor substrate, and a second dug region differing from the first dug region at a position where light is condensed by the on-chip lens. In the intra-pixel separation part, the width of the second dug region is formed narrower than the width of the first dug region in a plan view.
