Disclosed are an image sensor and a method for manufacturing the same. The image sensor includes a substrate provided with a transistor circuit, first and second interconnections separated from each other on the substrate, a first conductive-type conductive layer formed at side surfaces of the first interconnection, a second conductive-type conductive layer formed at side surfaces of the second interconnection, and an intrinsic layer formed between the first and second conductive-type conductive layers thereby forming a P-I-N structure.
