Abstract
Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards an image sensor having a photodetector disposed in a semiconductor substrate. The photodetector comprises a first doped region comprising a first dopant having a first doping type. A deep well region extends from a back-side surface of the semiconductor substrate to a top surface of the first doped region. A second doped region is disposed within the semiconductor substrate and abuts the first doped region. The second doped region and the deep well region comprise a second dopant having a second doping type opposite the first doping type. An isolation structure is disposed within the semiconductor substrate. The isolation structure extends from the back-side surface of the semiconductor substrate to a point below the back-side surface. A doped liner is disposed between the isolation structure and the second doped region. The doped liner comprises the second dopant.
