Abstract:
An image sensor is presented which includes a pixel array including a plurality of image sensing pixels in a substrate, a phase detection shared pixel in the substrate, the phase detection shared pixel including two phase detection subpixels arranged next to each other, a color filter fence disposed on the plurality of image sensing pixels, and the phase detection shared pixel, the color filter fence defining a plurality of color filter spaces, a plurality of color filter layers respectively disposed in the plurality of color filter spaces on the plurality of image sensing pixels, and the phase detection shared pixel, a first micro-lens disposed on each of the plurality of image sensing pixels to have a first height, and a second micro-lens disposed to vertically overlap the two phase detection subpixels of the phase detection shared pixel and to have a second height greater than the first height.
