Abstract
An image sensor is provided. The sensor comprises a plurality of photoelectric conversion elements each including a charge accumulation region of a first conductivity type arranged in a semiconductor substrate and an element isolation region arranged between the charge accumulation regions adjacent to each other. The element isolation region includes an insulator isolation portion arranged on an inner side of a trench on a surface of the semiconductor substrate, and includes a semiconductor region of a second conductivity type opposite to the first conductivity type arranged along a side surface of the insulator isolation portion. A gettering region is arranged between the semiconductor region and the insulator isolation portion along at least a part of the side surface of the insulator isolation portion.
