    Abstract: An image sensor may include photoelectric conversion elements within a substrate, a separation structure within the substrate and between the photoelectric conversion elements, an insulating structure on the substrate and the separation structure, a plurality of color filters on the insulating structure, a grid structure including a lower horizontal structure disposed on the insulating structure and a vertical structure connected to the lower horizontal structure and covering a side surface of one of the plurality of color filters, upper horizontal structures covering upper surfaces of the plurality of color filters, and a capping layer covering the upper horizontal structures and the grid structure. The grid structure may further include an air gap surrounded by the vertical structure, the lower horizontal structure, and the capping layer.
