A CMOS image sensor and method of fabricating the same are disclosed. The method comprises forming a plurality of polysilicon patterns on a silicon epitaxial layer which correspond to a plurality of photodiodes in a dummy pixel area, depositing a metal with a high melting point metal on the plurality of polysilicon patterns using a photoresist in an etching process, forming a silicide layer of the high melting point metal by removing the photoresist and then performing an ashing and rapid annealing process, sequentially forming a device protecting layer and a planarization layer on the silicon epitaxial layer and silicide layer, and forming a microlens on the planarization layer which corresponds to the silicide layer.
