摘要
Final passivation planarization is achieved by optimizing the stack height and trench width for technologies that are sensitive to passivation planarization like image sensor processes. Deposition profiles obtained by using our topography simulator elsa (Enhanced Level Set Applications) predict a range of trench width, stack height, and the thickness of the deposited layers which lead to a sufficient planarization margin. Furthermore, these predictions enable design of trenches with a sufficient side wall and bottom coverage in order to guarantee a proper moisture seal.
