  • Patent number: 11626438
    Abstract: Image sensors are provided. The image sensor may include a substrate including a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, a photoelectric conversion layer in the substrate, and a lower capacitor connection pattern on the first surface of the substrate. The second surface of the substrate may be configured to receive incident light. The lower capacitor connection pattern may include a capacitor region and a landing region protruding from the capacitor region. The image sensors may also include a capacitor structure including a first conductive pattern, a dielectric pattern, and a second conductive pattern sequentially stacked on the capacitor region, a first wire on the capacitor structure and connected to the second conductive pattern, and a second wire connected to the landing region. The first conductive pattern may be connected to the lower capacitor connection pattern.

  • Patent number: 11043538
    Abstract: Organic image sensors are provided. An organic image sensor includes a pixel electrode including a plurality of first electrodes spaced apart from each other. The organic image sensor includes an insulating region including a protruding portion that protrudes beyond surfaces of the plurality of first electrodes. The organic image sensor includes an organic photoelectric conversion layer on the pixel electrode and the protruding portion of the insulating region. Moreover, the organic image sensor includes a second electrode opposite the pixel electrode and on the organic photoelectric conversion layer.
