    Abstract: An image sensor includes a first substrate including pixel regions, each of which comprises a photoelectric conversion region, color filters provided on the pixel regions, respectively, the color filters provided on a first surface of the first substrate, and micro lenses provided on the color filters, respectively. First period structures repeatedly arranged in a first direction are defined by the micro lenses. Each of the first period structures includes a first micro lens and a second micro lens of the micro lenses. At least one of a size, a curvature, a material or a shape of the first micro lens is different from at least one of a size, a curvature, a material or a shape of the second micro lens. A first arrangement period of the first period structures is equal to or greater than twice a pixel pitch of the pixel regions.

    Abstract: An image sensor includes a semiconductor substrate having a first surface and a second surface with a pixel region having photoelectric conversion regions, a gate electrode disposed on the pixel region and adjacent to the first surface, a first isolation structure extending from the first surface toward the second surface, the first isolation structure comprising a first pixel isolation pattern enclosing the pixel region, and a first inner isolation pattern spaced apart from the first pixel isolation pattern and positioned between the photoelectric conversion regions, and a second isolation structure extending from the second surface toward the first surface with a top surface vertically spaced apart from at least a portion of a bottom surface of the first isolation structure. The bottom surface of the first isolation structure is closer to the second surface of the semiconductor substrate than to the first surface thereof.

    Abstract: An image sensor includes a photoelectric conversion layer including a plurality of first photoelectric conversion elements and a plurality of second photoelectric conversion elements adjacent to the first photoelectric conversion elements. A light shield layer shields the second photoelectric conversion elements and has respective openings therein that provide light transmission to respective ones of the first photoelectric conversion elements. The image sensor further includes an array of micro-lenses on the photoelectric conversion layer, each of the micro-lenses overlapping at least one of the first photoelectric conversion elements and at least one of the second photoelectric conversion elements.
