Abstract
An image sensor pixel, and image sensor, and a method of fabricating the same is disclosed. The image pixel includes a photosensitive capacitor and a transistor network. The photosensitive capacitor includes an electrode, a conductive layer, a dielectric layer, and a photosensitive semiconductor material. The conductive layer is disposed around the electrode and the dielectric layer is formed between the conductive layer and the electrode. The photosensitive semiconductor material is for generating an image signal in response to image light and is disposed between the dielectric layer and the electrode. The transistor network is coupled to readout the image signal from the electrode of the photosensitive capacitor.
