Abstract: CMOS image sensors are provided. A CMOS image sensor may include a semiconductor substrate including a light-receiving region and a logic region adjacent the light-receiving region. The CMOS image sensor may include a photoelectric conversion region in the light-receiving region. Moreover, the CMOS image sensor may include an isolation region including an interface with a sidewall of the photoelectric conversion region. The isolation region may include a first refractive index that is smaller than a second refractive index of the semiconductor substrate, and the isolation region may be between the logic region and the sidewall of the photoelectric conversion region.
