    Abstract: An image sensor including first and second pixel groups, each of which includes first to ninth pixels arranged to form a 3×3 array is disclosed. The image sensor further includes first to ninth transfer transistors disposed in each of the pixel groups to correspond to the first to ninth pixels, respectively, each of the first to ninth transfer transistors including a transfer gate and a floating diffusion region, a selection transistor disposed in at least one of the fourth to sixth pixels in each of the pixel group, and source follower transistors respectively disposed in at least two pixels of the first to third and seventh to ninth pixels in each of the pixel groups. Source follower gates of the source follower transistors may be connected to the floating diffusion region of each of the first to ninth transfer transistors.

    Abstract: An image sensor includes unit pixels of a first pixel group sharing a first floating diffusion region and associated with a single color filter, and unit pixels of a second pixel group sharing a second floating diffusion region and associated with the single color filter. Control logic may generate an image by obtaining capacitance having a first value from the first floating diffusion region at a first time, and obtaining capacitance having a second value different from the first value from the second floating diffusion region at a second time following the first time. The first pixel group and the second pixel s group have different sensitivity levels.

    Abstract: An image sensor includes a color unit pixel comprising sub-pixels arranged in an m×n matrix on a substrate, and a pixel isolation structure isolating the sub-pixels from each other in the color unit pixel. The pixel isolation structure includes an outer isolation film surrounding the color unit pixel, at least one inner isolation film including a portion between two sub-pixels, which are adjacent to each other, among the sub-pixels, a doped isolation liner covering opposite sidewalls of the at least one inner isolation film, and at least one doped isolation pillar contacting at least two sub-pixels selected from the sub-pixels. The at least one doped isolation pillar and the at least one inner isolation film are arranged to define a size of a partial region of each of the sub-pixels.
