    Abstract: An image sensor includes a first sensor pixel and a second sensor pixel that vertically overlap each other. The first sensor pixel includes a first signal generation circuit, and a first photoelectric converter that is connected to the first signal generation circuit and configured to generate first information from light having a first wavelength. The second sensor pixel includes a second signal generation circuit, and a second photoelectric converter that is connected to the second signal generation circuit and configured to generate second information from light having a second wavelength. A first horizontal surface area of the first photoelectric converter is different from a second horizontal surface area of the second photoelectric converter. An image sensor module includes the image sensor, a light source configured to emit light to a target object, and a dual band pass filter configured to selectively pass light reflected from the target object.

    Abstract: An image sensor of reduced chip size includes a semiconductor substrate having an active pixel region in which a plurality of active pixels are disposed and a power delivery region in which a pad is disposed. A plurality of first transparent electrode layers is disposed over the semiconductor substrate, respectively corresponding to the plurality of active pixels. A second transparent electrode layer is integrally formed across the active pixels. An organic photoelectric layer is disposed between the plurality of first transparent electrode layers and the second transparent electrode layer. An interconnection layer is located at a level that is the same as or higher than an upper surface of the pad with respect to an upper main surface of the semiconductor substrate. The interconnection layer extends from the pad to the second transparent electrode layer, and includes a connector electrically connecting the pad and the second transparent electrode layer.
