A self-aligned silicide (salicide) process is used to form a local interconnect for a CMOS image sensor consistent with a conventional CMOS image sensor process flow. An oxide layer is deposited over the pixel array of the image sensor. Portions of the oxide layer is removed and a metal layer is deposited. The metal layer is annealed to form a metal silicide. Optionally, a protective oxide layer is then deposited.
