Example Embodiment

[0036] Example one

[0037] This embodiment provides an FD active area structure of a pixel unit, such as image 3 , Figure 7-9 As shown, specifically including:

[0038] A P-type well (ie: P-type silicon semiconductor well) is formed on the P-type silicon semiconductor substrate, and an N-type silicon semiconductor injection layer is arranged on the P-type well to form the FD active area of ​​the pixel unit.

[0057] This embodiment provides a CMOS image sensor. The structure of the CMOS image sensor is basically the same as that of the existing CMOS image sensor. A plurality of pixel units can be connected to form a pixel array. Each pixel unit is composed of a photodiode, a transmission gate tube, and a reset tube. The difference between the source follower tube and the strobe tube and the existing CMOS image sensor is that the FD active area connected to the transmission gate tube, reset tube, and source follower tube in each pixel unit of the CMOS image sensor adopts the first embodiment described above. Any FD active area structure given in this can ensure that the leakage current of the pixel unit is reduced when working in the global exposure mode, thereby ensuring the clarity of the CMOS image sensor when shooting high-speed moving objects.

[0058]In summary, in the embodiment of the present invention, by improving the layout structure and process of the FD...
