    Abstract: A pixel array of an image sensor includes a plurality of pixel groups. Each pixel group includes a plurality of unit pixels adjacent to each other and respectively including photoelectric conversion elements disposed in a semiconductor substrate, a color filter shared by the plurality of unit pixels, and a plurality of microlenses disposed on the color filter and having sizes different from each other such that the plurality of microlenses respectively focus an incident light to the photoelectric conversion elements included in the plurality of unit pixels. Deviations of sensing sensitivity of unit pixels are reduced and quality of images captured by the image sensor is enhanced by adjusting sizes of microlenses.

    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 may include a semiconductor substrate having a light receiving surface thereon and a plurality of spaced-apart semiconductor photoelectric conversion regions at adjacent locations therein. A grating structure is provided on the light receiving surface. This grating structure extends opposite each of the plurality of spaced-apart photoelectric conversion regions. An optically-transparent layer is provided on the grating structure. This grating structure includes a plurality of spaced-apart grating patterns, which can have the same height and the same width. In addition, the grating patterns may be spaced apart from each other by a uniform distance. The grating structure is configured to selectively produce ±1 or higher order diffraction lights to the photoelectric conversion regions, in response to light incident thereon.
