Abstract
An isolation area that provides additional active area between semiconductor devices on an integrated circuit is described. In one embodiment, the invention includes a complementary metal oxide semiconductor transistor of an image sensor having a source, a drain, and a gate between the source and the drain, the transistor having a channel to couple the source and the drain under the influence of the gate, and an isolation barrier surrounding a periphery of the source and the drain to isolate the source and the drain from other devices, wherein the isolation barrier is distanced from the central portion of the channel.
