CMOS image sensor and method for fabricating the same

Abstract

A Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor includes a red photodiode formed in an first epitaxial layer, an isolation layer formed with a contact region left in a partial area of the red photodiode, a green photodiode formed in a surface of the isolation layer, a contact formed in the contact region at a predetermined spatial distance from the green photodiode, a second epitaxial layer formed on the first epitaxial layer in which the green photodiode is formed, a plurality of plugs formed in the second epitaxial layer and electrically connected to the green photodiode and the contact, a device isolation film formed in a surface of the second epitaxial layer, a blue photodiode formed in a surface of the second epitaxial layer above the green photodiode, and a well region formed in the second epitaxial layer inside the plug.
