Abstract
A depth sensor includes a substrate that includes a first face and a second face opposite to each other in a first direction; a photoelectric conversion element disposed in the substrate; and first and second taps connected to the photoelectric conversion element. Each of the first and second taps includes: a floating diffusion area disposed in the substrate; a transfer transistor connected to the floating diffusion area; a photo transistor connected to the photoelectric conversion element; a tap transfer transistor connected to the photo transistor; and a storage transistor connected to the tap transfer transistor and the transfer transistor. The storage transistor includes a storage gate electrode. The storage gate electrode includes a first extension and a second extension that extend from the first face of the substrate toward the second face, and the first extension and the second extension are spaced apart from each other in a second direction.
