    Abstract: An image sensor includes a normal pixel, a first auto-focus (AF) pixel, and a second AF pixel, each of the normal pixel, the first AF pixel and the second AF pixel including a photodiode. The image sensor further includes a normal microlens disposed on the normal pixel, and a first AF microlens disposed on the first AF pixel and the second AF pixel. The photodiode of the normal pixel, the photodiode of the first AF pixel, and the photodiode of the second AF pixel are respectively disposed in photo-detecting areas of a semiconductor substrate. A height of the first AF microlens in a vertical direction from a top surface of the semiconductor substrate is greater than a height of the normal microlens in the vertical direction from the top surface of the semiconductor substrate.

    Abstract: An image sensor includes a pixel array in which a plurality of normal pixels and a plurality of autofocus (AF) pixels are disposed, and a logic circuit. The logic circuit provides an autofocus function using a phase difference between pixel signals obtained from each of the plurality of AF pixels. Each of the AF pixels includes a single AF lens disposed on a pair of pixel areas. An AF lens of the AF pixel spaced apart from a center of the pixel array may have an area larger than an area of the AF lens of the AF pixel adjacent to the center.
