Abstract

A method of manufacturing an image sensor includes at least the following steps. A storage node is formed in a substrate. A gate dielectric layer, a storage gate electrode, and a first dielectric layer are sequentially formed over the substrate. A portion of the first dielectric layer is removed to form an opening. A protection layer and a shielding layer are sequentially filled into the opening. The protection layer laterally surrounds the shielding layer and at least a portion of the protection layer is located between the storage gate electrode and the shielding layer. A second dielectric layer is formed over the shielding layer.
