Abstract
An image sensor is provided. The image sensor includes a substrate and a conductive line pattern. The substrate includes an isolation pattern that extends from a bottom surface of the substrate into the substrate and defines pixel regions, and a photoelectric conversion region and a transistor for each of the pixel regions. The conductive line pattern is disposed on a top surface of the substrate, and vertically overlaps the isolation pattern in plan view and electrically connects to transistors of two or more of the pixel regions.
