Abstract

A sensor includes pixels supported by a substrate doped with a first conductivity type. Each pixel includes a portion of the substrate delimited by a vertical insulation structure with an image sensing assembly and a depth sensing assembly. The image sensing assembly includes a first region of the substrate more heavily doped with the first conductivity type and a first vertical transfer gate completely laterally surrounding the first region. Each of the depth sensing assemblies includes a second region of the substrate more heavily doped with the first conductivity type a second vertical transfer gate opposite a corresponding portion of the first vertical transfer gate. The second region is arranged between the second vertical transfer gate and the corresponding portion of the first vertical transfer gate.
