    Abstract: An image sensor includes pixels arranged parallel to an upper surface of a substrate and a pixel isolation film disposed between the pixels. Each pixel includes a floating diffusion region doped with impurities of a first conductivity type, a transfer gate structure adjacent to the floating diffusion region, and a transistor. The transfer gate structure includes a transfer gate electrode layer, a transfer gate insulating layer, and a transfer gate spacer adjacent to the transfer gate insulating layer in a first direction parallel to the upper surface of the substrate, and a portion of the transfer gate spacer is disposed between the floating diffusion region and the transfer gate electrode layer. In each pixel, a floating diffusion contact connected to the floating diffusion region is disposed more adjacent in the first direction to the pixel isolation film than to the transfer gate structure.

    Abstract: An image sensor includes a first substrate having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface. The first substrate includes an active pixel region having a plurality of active pixels. A plurality of lower electrode structures is disposed on the second surface of the first substrate and corresponds to the plurality of active pixels. An upper electrode is disposed on the plurality of lower electrode structures. An organic photoelectric conversion layer is disposed between the plurality of lower electrode structures and the upper electrode. A second substrate is disposed on the first surface of the first substrate. A driving circuit configured to drive the plurality of active pixels is disposed on the second substrate. The plurality of lower electrode structures includes a first barrier layer, a reflective layer disposed on the first barrier layer and a second barrier layer disposed on the reflective layer.
