An image sensor includes a semiconductor substrate having a first surface and a second surface, a pixel element isolation film extending through an interior of the semiconductor substrate and defining a plurality of active pixels in the semiconductor substrate, and a dummy element isolation film extending through the interior of the semiconductor substrate and extending along at least one side of the active pixels in a plan view and defining a plurality of dummy pixels in the semiconductor substrate. The pixel element isolation film may have a first end that is substantially coplanar with the first surface and has a first width in a first direction parallel to the first surface, and the dummy element isolation film has a first end that is substantially coplanar with the first surface and has a second width that is greater than the first width of the pixel element isolation film.

Image sensors

The present disclosure provides an image sensor and a method of manufacturing the same. An image sensor includes a first substrate, a barrier structure, a first structure, a second substrate, and a second structure. The first substrate includes a device region in which unit pixels are disposed and a first residual scribe lane region surrounding the device region. The first substrate has a first surface and a second surface. The barrier structure penetrates the first substrate in the first residual scribe lane region. The first surface of the first substrate is on the first structure. The second substrate includes a second residual scribe lane region facing the first residual scribe lane region. The second substrate has a front surface and a rear surface. The second structure is on the front surface of the second substrate and faces the first surface of the first substrate. The second structure is bonded to the first structure.
