Abstract
An image sensing device is disclosed. The image sensing device includes a semiconductor substrate configured to generate charge carriers in response to light incident, a plurality of control regions supported by the semiconductor substrate and configured to cause majority carrier currents in the semiconductor substrate to control movement of minority carriers, and a plurality of detection regions formed adjacent to the control regions and configured to capture the minority carriers moving in the semiconductor substrate. Each of the control regions includes an upper portion, a lower portion, and a middle portion disposed between the upper portion and the lower portion. The middle portion has a smaller horizontal cross-sectional profile than each of the upper portion and the lower portion.
