ABSTRACT:
A CMOS image sensor and a method for manufacturing the same improves photosensitivity and prevent loss of light by forming a photo-sensing unit under a color filter. The CMOS image sensor may include a plurality of transistors formed on a semiconductor substrate, a metal line formed over the plurality of transistors for electrically connecting the plurality of transistors, and a plurality of photodiodes electrically connected with the plurality of transistors and formed over the metal line.
