Abstract: An image sensor includes a substrate the substrate including a plurality of unit pixels arranged in a direction parallel to a first direction; a first and second photodiode inside of the substrate in each of the plurality of unit pixels and separated from each other in a second direction, perpendicular to the first direction; and a device isolation film between the plurality of unit pixels. A pair of pixels side-by-side in a third direction, perpendicular to the first and second direction, among the plurality of unit pixels, share a microlens, and at least one of the plurality of unit pixels includes a light shielding film on the substrate. Accordingly, in the image sensor, while maintaining the existing photodiode forming process, the autofocusing function in a vertical direction may be supplemented, and further, performance of the image sensor may be improved.
