Abstract
An image sensor is provided. The image sensor includes: a photoelectric conversion region in a semiconductor substrate; a photocharge collection region provided in the photoelectric conversion region; a floating diffusion region in the semiconductor substrate that is spaced apart from the photocharge collection region along a vertical direction; a charge multiplication region between the photocharge collection region and the floating diffusion region; and a vertical gate electrode which extends into the semiconductor substrate and overlaps the photocharge collection region along the vertical direction. A side surface of the vertical gate electrode is adjacent to the floating diffusion region and the charge multiplication region.
