Abstract
A phototransistor of a CMOS image sensor suitable for decreasing the size of layout, and a method for fabricating the phototransistor are disclosed, in which the phototransistor includes a first conductive type semiconductor substrate; an STI layer on the first conductive type semiconductor substrate, to define an active area and a device isolation area in the first conductive type semiconductor substrate; a second conductive type well in the first conductive type semiconductor substrate; a gate line on the first conductive type semiconductor substrate; an ohmic contact layer in the second conductive type well, wherein the ohmic contact layer is overlapped with the gate line in state of interposing the STI layer therebetween; and a contact to connect the gate line with the ohmic contact layer through the STI layer.
