Abstract: An image sensor includes a color filter on a substrate, first and second organic photodiodes on the color filter, and first and second capacitors connected to the first and second organic photodiodes, respectively. The color filter is spaced apart from a first surface of the substrate. Each of the first and second organic photodiodes face an upper surface of the color filter. The first capacitor includes a first conductive pattern and a first insulating space. The first conductive pattern extends through the substrate, and the first insulating spacer surrounds a sidewall of the first conductive pattern and has a first thickness. The second capacitor includes a second conductive pattern and a second insulating spacer. The second conductive pattern extends through the substrate, and the second insulating spacer surrounds a sidewall of the second conductive pattern and has a second thickness smaller than the first thickness.

Abstract: An image sensor includes a first photoelectric conversion layer that is configured to convert light to a first signal. The image sensor also includes a transfer transistor. The transfer transistor includes a storage node region which stores the first signal. The transfer transistor also includes a transfer gate which transfers the stored first signal, and a floating diffusion region that receives the first signal. The image sensor includes a reset transistor that resets the floating diffusion region, and a drive transistor which receives a pixel voltage. The drive transistor generates an output voltage. The image sensor also includes a selection transistor which outputs the output voltage. A reset drain voltage is applied to a drain electrode of the reset transistor, and is independent of the pixel voltage. The reset drain voltage ranges from about 0.1V to about 1.0V.

Abstract: An image sensor includes a photoelectric conversion unit, a signal generation unit, and a feedback unit. The photoelectric conversion unit is formed above a substrate and detects incident light to generate photo-charges based on a drive voltage. The signal generation unit is formed on the substrate and generates an analog signal based on the photo-charges. The feedback unit generates the drive voltage based on an amount of the photo-charges generated from the photoelectric conversion unit. The image sensor may perform a wide dynamic range (WDR) function.
