Abstract

A method includes performing a first lithography process using a first pattern of a first photomask to form a first photoresist pattern on a front side of a device substrate; performing a first implantation process using the first pattern as a mask to form first isolation regions in the device substrate; after performing the first implantation process, performing a second lithography process using a second pattern of a second photomask to form a second photoresist pattern on the front side of the device substrate, the second pattern being shifted from the first pattern by a distance less than the first pitch and in the first direction; performing a second implantation process using the second photoresist pattern as a mask to form second isolation regions in the device substrate and spaced apart from the first isolation regions; and forming pixels between the first and second isolation regions.
