Abstract: An image sensor includes a semiconductor layer, a plurality of light sensing regions, a first pixel isolation layer, a light shielding layer, and a wiring layer. The semiconductor layer has a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface. The plurality of light sensing regions is formed in the semiconductor layer. The first pixel isolation layer is disposed between adjacent light sensing regions from among the plurality of light sensing regions. The first pixel isolation layer is buried in an isolation trench formed between the first surface and the second surface. The light shielding layer is formed on the second surface of the semiconductor layer and on some of the adjacent light sensing regions. The wiring layer is formed on the first surface of the semiconductor layer.

Abstract: An image sensor includes a substrate with a first surface opposite a second surface, a pixel isolation pattern defining first and second unit pixels adjacent to each other in the substrate, and first and second separation patterns in the substrate. The first unit pixel includes first and second photoelectric conversion parts along a first direction. The second unit pixel includes third and fourth photoelectric conversion parts along a second direction intersecting the first direction. The first separation pattern extends in the second direction between the first and second photoelectric conversion parts. The second separation pattern extends in the first direction between the third and fourth photoelectric conversion parts. A width of the pixel isolation pattern, a width of the first separation pattern, and a width of the second separation pattern each decrease from the second surface of the substrate toward the first surface of the substrate.

Abstract: An image sensor includes a substrate including a first side on which light is incident, and a second side opposite to the first side, a pixel isolation pattern formed inside the substrate which defines a plurality of unit pixels, a first photoelectric conversion region and a second photoelectric conversion region arranged along a first direction, inside each of the unit pixels, and a region isolation pattern which protrudes from the pixel isolation pattern in a second direction intersecting the first direction, and defines an isolation region between the first photoelectric conversion region and the second photoelectric conversion region. A first width of the isolation region in the second direction on the first side is more than about 1.1 times a second width of the isolation region in the second direction on the second side.
