Summary: | An image sensor includes a photoelectric conversion element including a first impurity region and a second impurity region, wherein the first impurity region contacts a first surface of a substrate, wherein the second impurity region has conductivity complementary to the first impurity region and is formed in the substrate and below the first impurity region; a pillar formed over the photoelectric conversion element; a transfer gate formed over the photoelectric conversion element to surround the pillar; and a channel layer formed between the transfer gate and the pillar and contacting the photoelectric conversion element, wherein the channel layer contacts the first impurity region and has the same conductivity as the second impurity region. |
