Claim 9:
10. A method for fabricating an image sensor, the method comprising:
preparing a substrate on which pixel electrodes and a first electrode are provided;
forming a photoelectric conversion film on the pixel electrodes;
forming a second electrode on a top surface of the photoelectric conversion film;
forming an insulating layer on the second electrode;
patterning the photoelectric conversion film, the second electrode, and the insulating layer so that a side surface of the insulating layer, a side surface of the second electrode, and a side surface of the photoelectric conversion film are aligned with each other; and
forming a connection layer that electrically connects the side surface of the second electrode, which is exposed by the patterning, to the first electrode such that the connection layer is not in direct contact with a top surface of the second electrode.
