An image sensing device includes a gate dielectric layer formed on a
substrate and a transfer gate formed on the gate dielectric layer. A
masking layer is formed on the transfer gate, the masking layer having a
width smaller than a width of the transfer gate, such that a portion of
the transfer gate protrudes laterally from under the masking layer. A
photodiode is formed in the substrate to be self-aligned with the masking
layer and to extending laterally under the transfer gate, that is, to
overlap the transfer gate. Because of the overlap of the photodiode with
the transfer gate, offset between the photodiode and the transfer gate is
eliminated, such that an image lag phenomenon is eliminated.
