Abstract

An image sensing device is disclosed. The image sensing device includes a semiconductor substrate, a plurality of signal detectors, an insulation layer, and at least one gate. The semiconductor substrate includes a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface, and generates signal carriers in response to light incident upon the first surface. The signal detectors are formed on the semiconductor substrate and located closer to the second surface than the first surface of the semiconductor substrate, and detect the signal carriers using a difference in electric potential. The insulation layer is disposed at the second surface of the semiconductor substrate, and isolates the signal detectors from each other. The at least one gate is disposed at the insulation layer interposed between the signal detectors, and reflects light arriving at the second surface of the semiconductor substrate back to the semiconductor substrate.
