A first pixel among the pixels includes a first floating diffusion region, a first group of photoelectric conversion elements, a first group of charge transfer transistors, a first source follower transistor, and a first transistor, a second transistor, and a first reset transistor connected in series between the first floating diffusion region and a voltage supply line. One of the first transistor, the second transistor, and the first reset transistor is formed in a first sub-pixel region. At least another one of the first transistor, the second transistor, and the first reset transistor is formed in a second sub-pixel region. The first sub-pixel region and the second sub-pixel region are separated from each other by the FDTI.

Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a substrate including an active region. A gate structure is disposed in the substrate and extends to traverse the active region in a first horizontal direction. Bit line structures traverse the gate structure and extend in a second horizontal direction, intersecting the first horizontal direction. Fence structures are disposed between the bit line structures. The fence structures are spaced apart from each other in the second horizontal direction. A contact plug is disposed between the bit line structures and between the fence structures. The contact plug includes first and second side surfaces that are spaced apart from each other in the second horizontal direction and third and fourth side surfaces that are spaced apart from each other in the first horizontal direction. A doping concentration of the first side surface is higher than a doping concentration of the third side surface.

Abstract: A pixel group of an image sensor includes first through fourth unit pixels in a matrix form of two pixels rows and two pixel columns, and a common floating diffusion region in a semiconductor substrate at a center of the pixel group and shared by the first through fourth unit pixels. Each of the first through fourth unit pixels includes a photoelectric conversion element in the semiconductor substrate, and a pair of vertical transfer gates in the semiconductor substrate and extending in a vertical direction perpendicular to a surface of the semiconductor substrate. The pair of vertical transfer gates transfer photo charges collected by the photoelectric conversion element to the common floating diffusion region. Image quality is enhanced by increasing sensing sensitivity of the unit pixel through the shared structure of the floating diffusion region and the symmetric structure of the vertical transfer gates.
