| 1. A photo diode, comprising:
a semiconductor substrate;
a buried layer of a first conductivity type, a first epitaxial layer of the first conductivity type, and a second epitaxial
layer of a second conductivity type sequentially provided on the semiconductor substrate;
a partition layer of the first conductivity type on the second epitaxial layer;
a doped shallow junction layer of the second conductivity type on adjacent sides of the partition layer;
a layered structure comprising an oxide film pattern and a silicon nitride film pattern sequentially provided only on the
doped shallow junction layer;
an interlayer dielectric film and an inter-metal dielectric film provided on the silicon nitride film pattern to define a
light receiving portion; and
a dielectric film provided on the inter-metal dielectric film;
wherein the dielectric film, the silicon nitride film pattern, and the oxide film pattern form a multi-layered anti-reflective
coating.
