Definitions
- the present invention relates to a semiconductor image sensor module and a manufacturing method thereof. More specifically, the present invention relates to a semiconductor image sensor module that realizes a simultaneous shotter that supports high speed shutter speed such as a digital still camera, a video camera, or a camera-equipped mobile phone.
- a CMOS image sensor has an advantage that system-on-chip is easy because it can be manufactured by a standard CMOS process with a single power source and low power consumption as compared with a CCD image sensor.
- CMOS image sensors have been used for high-quality single-lens reflex digital still cameras and mobile phones due to this advantage.
- FIG. 54 and FIG. 55 show simplified configurations of a CCD image sensor and a CMOS image sensor, respectively.
- a plurality of light receiving sensors (photoelectric conversion elements) 3 as pixels are regularly arranged in, for example, a two-dimensional matrix in the imaging region 2 and correspond to each light receiving sensor array. Then, a CCD structure vertical transfer register 4 for transferring signal charges in the vertical direction is arranged, and a CCD structure horizontal transfer register 5 for transferring signal charges in the horizontal direction connected to each vertical transfer register 4 is arranged.
- the horizontal transfer register 5 is connected to an output unit 6 for changing the charge voltage and outputting it at the final stage.
- the light received in the imaging region 2 is converted into signal charges by each light receiving sensor 3 and accumulated, and the signal charges of each light receiving sensor 3 are read out via the gate unit 7 and the vertical transfer register 4. Read out and forward in the vertical direction.

- a plurality of pixels 12 are two-dimensionally arranged in a regular array, for example, a two-dimensional matrix.
- Each pixel 12 is formed by a photoelectric conversion element (for example, a photodiode) and a plurality of MOS transistors.
- the control circuit 14 receives an input clock and data for instructing an operation mode, and outputs data including image sensor information.
- the row of the pixels 12 is selected by the drive pulse from the vertical drive circuit 15, and the output of the pixel 12 in the selected row is sent to the column unit 16 through the vertical selection line 21.

Processing), signal amplification, analog Z digital (AD) conversion, and the like. Then, the column signal processing circuit 19 is sequentially selected by the horizontal drive circuit 17, and the signal is guided to the horizontal signal line 20 and output from the output circuit 18 as an imaging signal.
- FIGS. 56A and 56B show accumulation timing charts of pixel rows corresponding to the scanning lines of the CCD image sensor 1 and the CMOS image sensor 11, respectively.
- the CCD image sensor 1 signal charges are accumulated in each light receiving sensor 3 during the same period, and the signal charges are simultaneously read from the light receiving sensor 3 to the vertical transfer register 4 in all pixels. That is, as shown in FIG. 56A, pixels in all rows are accumulated at the same time during an accumulation period of a certain frame. This allows for simultaneous accumulation and enables simultaneous electronic shots!
- the pixel 12 that has output the signal starts accumulating the photoelectrically converted signal again from that point of time, as shown in FIG. 56B.
- the accumulation period shifts according to the scanning timing.
- the synchronism of accumulation cannot be obtained, and a simultaneous electronic shirt cannot be obtained. That is, since the CMOS image sensor 11 does not have a vertical transfer register that shifts the transfer timing like the CCD image sensor, the pixel accumulation time is adjusted at the reset timing to adjust the timing for sending data to the column signal processing circuit. ing.
- FIGS 57A and B show the recorded images when the wings rotating at high speed are recorded with a CCD image sensor and a CMOS image sensor.
- the wing 25 recorded by the CCD image sensor is recorded normally so that the force in the figure is also divided, but the wing 25 recorded by the CMOS image sensor is recorded with a distorted shape (Non-Patent Document 1, page 180). reference).
