A CMOS image sensor and a method of manufacturing the same are provided. The method is capable of reducing a distance between a micro-lens and a photodiode and simplifying the manufacturing process for the CMOS image sensor. In an embodiment, the interlayer dielectric layers of high level metal lines (e.g. third level and higher metal lines) can be selectively removed from the sensing section of a semiconductor substrate. The color filter layers and microlenses can be formed on the sensing section after the interlayer dielectric layers of the high level metal lines have been selectively removed.
