Abstract
An image sensor comprises a substrate that includes a front surface and a rear surface opposite to each other, a plurality of unit pixels disposed in the substrate, where each unit pixel includes a photoelectric conversion layer, a floating diffusion region, and a transfer transistor that electrically connects the photoelectric conversion layer to the floating diffusion region, a pixel isolation pattern that penetrates the substrate in a first direction and defines respective unit pixels, and a microlens disposed on a rear surface of the substrate. The transfer transistor includes a gate electrode that includes a first portion that extends in a second direction along the pixel isolation pattern and a second portion that extends in a third direction along the pixel isolation pattern, and a height from the rear surface of the substrate to a top surface of the gate electrode is less than a thickness of the substrate.
