A pinned photodiode sensor with gate-controlled SCR switch includes a pinned photodiode and a gate-controlled SCR switch. The SCR switch includes a P-type substrate, an N− doped region, and an N+ doped region formed on the substrate; a P+ doped region formed on the N− doped region; an oxide layer formed on the P substrate, the N− doped region, the N+ doped region, and the P+ doped region; and a gate formed above the P substrate and the N− doped region. The gate includes a P+ doped region and an N+ doped region. During an exposure procedure, a depletion region will not reach the interface between the oxide layer and the substrate, thereby preventing dark current leakage.
