Abstract
An image sensor includes: a substrate including a first surface and a second surface; an interlayer dielectric layer covering the first surface; and a pixel separation part disposed its the substrate, wherein the pixel separation part divides a plurality of unit pixels from each other, wherein the pixel separation part includes: a conductive structure that extends from the first surface toward the second surface; a first reflective structure disposed between the conductive structure and the substrate; and a front-side buried pattern disposed between the conductive structure and the interlayer dielectric layer and between the first reflective structure and the interlayer dielectric layer, wherein the first reflective structure includes first reflective liners and second reflective liners that are alternately disposed in a direction toward the conductive structure from the substrate, wherein a refractive index of the first reflective liners is different from a refractive index of the second reflective liners.
