This invention provides an
image sensor, a pixel structure, and a method for manufacturing the same. The pixel structure includes a
photoelectric conversion region disposed in a
semiconductor substrate and a conductive plate disposed above it. The conductive plate covers a first region of the
photoelectric conversion region and induces a hole accumulation layer on its surface by receiving a bias
signal, achieving electrical pinning. A doped pinning layer is disposed in a second region outside the projection range of the conductive plate, achieving physical pinning, wherein the
doping concentration of the surface
doping profile of the first region is lower than that of the second region. Through the synergistic effect of
electric field modulation and
doping modulation, a stable potential distribution is formed on the surface of the
photoelectric conversion region, effectively suppressing
dark current. Because high-concentration doping is avoided in the first region, the
impact of doping compensation on the
potential well is reduced, thereby maintaining a large charge storage space even under pixel
miniaturization conditions, improving the full-well capacity and the
dynamic range and
signal-to-
noise ratio of the
image sensor.
