摘要: An image sensor includes a substrate, a first isolation region defining a unit pixel, a first photoelectric conversion region in the unit pixel, a second photoelectric conversion region in the unit pixel, the second photoelectric conversion region spaced apart from the first photoelectric conversion region, a floating diffusion region, the floating diffusion region adjacent to the first surface of the substrate, a first transfer gate on the first surface of the substrate, the first transfer gate between the first photoelectric conversion region and the floating diffusion region, and a second transfer gate on the first surface of the substrate, the second transfer gate between the second photoelectric conversion region and the floating diffusion region. At least a part of the first transfer gate is buried in the substrate, and a bottom surface of the first transfer gate is different in height from a bottom surface of the second transfer gate.

摘要: An image sensor includes two or more phase-difference detection pixels disposed adjacent to each other, a plurality of general pixels spaced apart from the phase-difference detection pixels, first and second peripheral pixels, and first to third light shields. The first and second peripheral pixels are adjacent to the phase-difference detection pixels, and between the phase-difference detection pixels and the general pixels. The first light shield is disposed in one of the general pixels and has a first width. The second light shield extends into the first peripheral pixel from a first area between the phase-difference detection pixels and the first peripheral pixel, and has a second width different from the first width. The third light shield extends into the second peripheral pixel from a second area between the phase-difference detection pixels and the second peripheral pixel, and has a third width different from the first width.

摘要: An image sensor includes a plurality of pixels, at least one of the pixels comprising: a photodiode configured to generate charges in response to light; and a pixel circuit disposed on the substrate, and including a storage transistor configured to store the charges generated by the photodiode, and a transfer transistor connected between the storage transistor and a floating diffusion node, wherein a potential of a boundary region between the storage transistor and the transfer transistor has a first potential when the transfer transistor is in a turned-off state, and has a second potential, lower than the first potential, when the transfer transistor is in a turned-on state.
