Pixel sensor cells, method of fabricating pixel sensor cells and design structure for pixel sensor cells. The pixel sensor cells including: a photodiode body in a first region of a semiconductor layer; a floating diffusion node in a second region of the semiconductor layer, a third region of the semiconductor layer between and abutting the first and second regions; and dielectric isolation in the semiconductor layer, the dielectric isolation surrounding the first, second and third regions, the dielectric isolation abutting the first, second and third regions and the photodiode body, the dielectric isolation not abutting the floating diffusion node, portions of the second region intervening between the dielectric isolation and the floating diffusion node.
