Abstract
In the semiconductor image sensor according to the invention in which the photoconductivity of that region of the active layer producing carriers upon exposure to light which is on the light-transmitting electrode side is lower than that of the remaining region, crosstalk can be inhibited without mechanically dividing the semiconductor layer and without causing any significant decrease in sensor sensitivity.
