An image sensor structure includes a plurality of pixels formed on a
substrate. Each pixel includes an image senor interconnect structure, a
separator layer and an electrode layer, wherein the separator layer has a
first thickness an a sidewall of the separator layer is recessed from a
sidewall of the electrode layer. A first doped amorphous silicon layer id
formed on the electrode layer, wherein the separator layer and the first
doped amorphous silicon layer of a pixel are disconnected from that of an
adjacent pixel.
