One of the latest Sony patents disclosed a new kind of sensor. Pixel size does change based on their color characteristic. This does make sense because every color has a different sensivity. Read the google english translation:

• Patent publication number 2010-129548
  • 2010/06/10 Release date 2010/06/10

• Current Issues
  • The signal level is smaller and more pixelated, S / N ratio is difficult to ensure
  • RGB wavelengths the energy profile for each file is different
    • Color imbalance
• Patent Technology
  • Energy profiles corresponding to the active area (pixel size) and
