    Abstract: A method of manufacturing an image sensor includes forming a first dopant region having a second conductivity type in a semiconductor substrate including first and second surfaces. The semiconductor substrate has a first conductivity type different from the second conductivity type. The method further includes forming a pixel isolation structure defining pixel regions in the semiconductor substrate, forming a vertical trench by patterning the first surface in each of the pixel regions, forming a mask pattern exposing each of the pixel regions on the first surface, in which the mask pattern includes a residual mask pattern filling at least a portion of the vertical trench, forming a second dopant region having the second conductivity type in the semiconductor substrate by using the mask pattern as an ion-implantation mask, in which the second dopant region is adjacent to the vertical trench, and forming a transfer gate electrode in the vertical trench.
