Abstract
Image sensors are provided. An image sensor includes a substrate that includes a pixel region, a first surface, and a second surface that is opposite the first surface. The image sensor includes first and second photogates that are on the first surface and are configured to generate electric charge responsive to incident light in the pixel region. Moreover, the image sensor includes first and second lenses that are on the second surface and are configured to pass the incident light toward the first and second photogates.
