Abstract
An image sensor includes a substrate having a first conductivity type. A first well in the substrate has an opposite conductivity type and is doped with opposite conductivity type dopant. A second well in the first well has the opposite conductivity type and is doped with opposite conductivity type dopant. A first region in the second well has the opposite conductivity type and is doped with opposite conductivity type dopant. A second region in the first region has the first conductivity type and is doped with first conductivity type dopant. A third region in the second well adjacent the first region is of the opposite conductivity type and is doped with opposite conductivity type dopant. A temperature sensor is disposed between, and is connected to each of, the second region and the third region.
