Abstract

An integrated circuit device includes a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor. The complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor includes a P-N junction photodiode, a transistor gate, a polysilicon plug and a stacked metal layer. The P-N junction photodiode is disposed in a substrate. The transistor gate and the polysilicon plug are disposed on the substrate, wherein the polysilicon plug is directly connected to the P-N junction photodiode. The stacked metal layer connects the polysilicon plug to the transistor gate, wherein the stacked metal layer includes a lower metal layer and an upper metal layer, and the lower metal layer includes a first metal silicide part contacting to the polysilicon plug. The present invention also provides a method of fabricating said integrated circuit device.
