Abstract
An image sensor including first and second pixel regions adjacent to each other in a first direction in a light-receiving region that receives light and generates charges; a third pixel region adjacent to the first pixel region in a second direction intersecting the first direction in the light-receiving region; a first device isolation layer between the first and second pixel regions and between the first and third pixel regions to separate the first pixel region from the second pixel region and the first pixel region from the third pixel region; second device isolation layers in each of the first to third pixel regions to define active regions; a plurality of transfer gates and a plurality of logic gates on the active regions; and a side connection contact overlapping the first device isolation layer and connected to a side surface of an active region.
