Abstract: Provided is an image sensor including an organic photoelectric layer capable of enhancing color reproduction. An image sensor includes a semiconductor substrate including a plurality of pixel regions spaced apart from each other and an isolation region therebetween. Each of the plurality of pixel regions has a unit pixel. The image sensor also includes a device isolation layer in the isolation region and surrounding the unit pixel, a first transparent electrode layer, an organic photoelectric layer, and a second transparent electrode layer. The image sensor further includes a via plug electrically connected to the first transparent electrode layer, and arranged between the device isolation layers in the isolation region. The via plug passes through the isolation region. The first transparent electrode layer, the organic photoelectric layer and the second transparent electrode layer are sequentially arranged over the semiconductor substrate.

Abstract: A unit pixel of a stacked image sensor includes a stacked photoelectric conversion unit, a first and second signal generating units. The stacked photoelectric conversion unit includes first, second and third photoelectric conversion elements that are stacked on each other. The first, second and third photoelectric conversion elements collect first, second and third photocharges based on first, second and third components of incident light. The first signal generating unit generates a first pixel signal based on the first photocharges and a first signal node and generates a second pixel signal based on the second photocharges and the first signal node. The second signal generating unit generates a third pixel signal based on the third photocharges and a second signal node. At least a portion of the second signal generating unit is shared by the first signal generating unit.
