Minimum pixel size

Alfred Molon wrote: Is there a lower limit to pixel size, i.e. could pixel size in a CCD go to 1 micrometer and below (if we disregard noise issues for a moment) ? My first guess would be that the absolute lower limit would be the wavelength of near infra-red (around 3 microns). Any smaller and you truly run the risk of not being able to capture some of the visible spectrum. Doesn't infra-red start at about 0.8 microns?
