Isolation between the heavily-doped active regions of an active pixel sensor cell is provided by utilizing a series of isolation regions which have a doping concentration that is approximately equal to the doping concentration of a low-density drain (LDD) region. A first isolation region of the series, which has the same conductivity type as the active regions, is formed to adjoin a first active region. A second isolation region of the series, which has the opposite conductivity type as the active regions, is formed to adjoin the first isolation region. A third isolation region, which has the same conductivity type as the active regions, is formed to adjoin the second isolation region and a second active region.
