Abstract
A device includes a substrate, a light sensitive element, a pinning region, a lightly-doped region, a floating node, and a gate stack. The light sensitive element is in the substrate. The pinning region is in the substrate and is over the light sensitive element. The lightly-doped region is laterally adjacent the pinning region. The floating node is in the pinning region, the floating node being spaced from and surrounded by the lightly-doped region. A first portion of the pinning region is between the floating node and the lightly-doped region. The gate stack is over the first portion of the pinning region.
