Abstract
An image sensor includes: a first impurity region of the first conductive type aligned with one side of the gate structure and extending to a first depth from a surface portion of the semiconductor layer; a first spacer formed on each sidewall of the gate structure; a second impurity region of the first conductive type, aligned with the first spacer and extending to a second depth that is larger than the first depth from the surface portion of the semiconductor layer; a second spacer formed on each sidewall of the first spacer; a third impurity region of the first conductive type aligned with the second spacer and extending to a third depth that is larger than the second depth from the surface portion of the semiconductor layer; and a fourth impurity region of a second conductive type beneath the third impurity region.
