Abstract

An image sensing device includes a photoelectric conversion element configured to generate photocharges in response to incident light, a floating diffusion configured to temporarily store the photocharges generated by the photoelectric conversion element, and a transfer gate configured to transmit the photocharges generated by the photoelectric conversion element to the floating diffusion region. The transfer gate includes a main transfer gate disposed to overlap a center section of the photoelectric conversion element and configured to operate in response to a first transmission signal, and a sub transfer gate disposed to overlap a boundary region of the photoelectric conversion element and configured to operate in response to a second potential level different from the first potential level.
