Abstract

Provided may be a treatment method to remove defects created on the surface of a substrate, a method of fabricating an image sensor by using the treatment method, and an image sensor fabricated by the same. The treatment method may include providing a semiconductor substrate including a surface defect, providing a chemical solution to a surface of the semiconductor substrate, and removing the surface defect by consuming the surface of the semiconductor substrate and forming a chemical oxide layer on the semiconductor substrate.
