Abstract: An image sensor includes a semiconductor layer including a first section and a second section, the semiconductor layer having a first surface and a second surface that face each other; a device isolation layer in the semiconductor layer and defining a plurality of pixels; a first grid pattern on the first surface of the semiconductor layer over the first section; and a light-shield pattern on the first surface of the semiconductor layer over the second section. A top surface of the first grid pattern is located at a first level, a top surface of the light-shield pattern is located at a second level, the first level is lower than the second level, and the first and second levels are defined with respect to the first surface of the semiconductor layer.

Abstract: An image sensor is disclosed. The image sensor may include pixel groups, which are two-dimensionally arranged on a substrate, and each of the pixel groups including a plurality of pixels. The image sensor may also include a light-blocking pattern, which is disposed on the substrate and between the pixels. The pixel groups may include first image pixel groups sensing a first light, second image pixel groups sensing a second light, and an auto-focus (AF) pixel group detecting a phase. The AF pixel group may include a first AF pixel and a second AF pixel adjacent to each other, and the light-blocking pattern may be absent on the substrate between the first AF pixel and the second AF pixel.

Abstract: An image sensor includes a substrate including a light-receiving region and a light-shielding region, a device isolation pattern in the substrate of the light-receiving region to define active pixels, and a device isolation region in the substrate of the light-shielding region to define reference pixels. An isolation technique of the device isolation pattern is different from that of the device isolation region.

Abstract: An image sensor includes a semiconductor substrate, a first pair of photoelectric conversion regions in a first pixel region of the substrate and a first isolation structure between the photoelectric conversion regions of the first pair of photoelectric conversion regions. The sensor further includes a second pair of photoelectric conversion regions in a second pixel region of the substrate adjacent the first pixel region and a second isolation structure between the photoelectric conversion regions of the second pair of photoelectric conversion regions and having different optical properties than the first isolation structure. First and second different color filters (e.g., green and red) may be disposed on respective ones of the first and second pixel regions.
