An image sensor includes a plurality of unit pixels, each including: a substrate including first and second sides which are opposite to each other, a photoelectric conversion layer in the substrate, and a wiring structure on the first side of the substrate. The wiring structure may include: a first capacitor, a second capacitor spaced from the first capacitor, a plurality of edge vias arranged along edges of the unit pixel, and a plurality of central vias interposed between the first capacitor and the second capacitor.

Image sensor

An image sensor may include a first substrate having first and second surfaces and including unit pixel regions, each of which includes a device isolation pattern and a photoelectric conversion region adjacent to the first surface of the first substrate, a pixel isolation pattern provided in the first substrate to define the unit pixel regions and to penetrate the device isolation pattern, a first impurity region and a floating diffusion region provided in the first substrate and adjacent to the first surface, a second substrate provided on the first substrate to have third and fourth surfaces, a second impurity region provided in the second substrate and adjacent to the third surface, and ground and body contacts coupled to the first and second impurity regions, respectively. The ground contact and the body contact may be electrically separated from each other.
