Abstract

An image sensor device includes a transistor disposed in a pixel region; a salicide block layer covering the pixel region; a first ILD layer covering the salicide block layer; a second ILD layer on the first ILD layer; a source contacts extending through the second and first ILD layers and the salicide block layer, and including first polysilicon plug in the first ILD layer, first self-aligned silicide layer on the polysilicon plug and first conductive metal layer on the first self-aligned silicide layer; and a drain contact extending through the second and first ILD layers and the salicide block, and including second polysilicon plug in first ILD layer, second self-aligned silicide layer on the second polysilicon plug, and second conductive metal layer on the second self-aligned silicide layer.
