    Abstract: A binary image sensor includes a plurality of unit pixels on a substrate having a surface on which light is incident. At least one quantum dot is disposed on the surface of a substrate. A column sense amplifier circuit is configured to detect binary information of a selected unit pixel among the plurality of unit pixels from a voltage or a current detected from the selected unit pixel, and a processing unit is configured to process binary information of the respective unit pixels to generate pixel image information. Related devices and methods of operation are also discussed.

    Abstract: An image sensor having active, peripheral and dummy regions is provided as follows. A dummy through electrode is disposed in the substrate. An active through electrode is disposed in the substrate. An insulation structure in which a color filter is embedded is disposed on the substrate. A dummy bottom electrode is disposed on the insulation structure and connected electrically to the dummy through electrode. An active bottom electrode is disposed on the insulation structure and connected electrically to the active through electrode. A photoelectric conversion layer is disposed on the insulation structure. A top electrode is disposed on the photoelectric conversion layer and the dummy bottom electrode. The top electrode is connected electrically to the dummy bottom electrode. The photoelectric conversion layer is interposed between the top electrode and the active bottom electrode which are separated from each other.

    Abstract: An image sensor includes a photoelectric conversion element and a charge storage node coupled to the photoelectric conversion element. The charge storage node may store photocharges generated in the photoelectric conversion element. The charge storage node may include a floating diffusion region in a semiconductor substrate, a barrier dopant region on the floating diffusion region in the semiconductor substrate, and a charge drain region on the barrier dopant region in the semiconductor substrate, where the semiconductor substrate is associated with a first conductivity type, the floating diffusion region is associated with a second conductivity type, the barrier dopant region is associated with the first conductivity type, and the charge drain region is associated with the second conductivity type.
