    Abstract: An image sensor includes first conductive patterns on a first surface of a substrate, and second conductive patterns between the first conductive patterns and the first surface, in which at least one of the first conductive patterns or the second conductive patterns includes a time constant adjustment pattern and neighboring conductive patterns, in which the time constant adjustment pattern extends in a first direction that is parallel to the first surface and the neighboring conductive patterns extend in the first direction and are most adjacent to the time constant adjustment pattern. The time constant adjustment pattern includes one or more time constant adjustment portions that protrude in a second direction that is parallel to the first surface and is perpendicular to the first direction, and the one or more time constant adjustment portions do not overlap the neighboring conductive patterns in the second direction.

    Abstract: An image sensor includes a substrate and a pixel separation portion disposed in the substrate and separating first pixels and second pixels from each other. The first pixels and the second pixels are alternately arranged in a first direction and a second direction which intersect each other. Each of the first pixels has a first width in the first direction. Each of the second pixels has a second width in the first direction, which is narrower than the first width. The pixel separation portion includes a main separation portion between the first and second pixels, and protrusions, each of which protrudes from a side surface of the main separation portion in at least one of the first and second directions. Ones of the protrusions protrude into a respective one of the first pixels to divide the respective one of the first pixels into a plurality of sub-pixels.
