ABSTRACT:
A method of manufacturing a photodiode sensor and an associated charge transfer transistor includes forming an insulation region on a substrate, forming the diode on a first side of the insulation region with the diode being self-aligned on the insulation region, and replacing the insulation region by a gate of the charge transfer transistor. The invention has particular utility in the manufacture of CMOS or CCD image sensors.
