Abstract
An image sensor includes a pixel division structure, a light sensing element, a transistor, a color filter array layer, and a microlens. The pixel division structure extends through a substrate in a vertical direction substantially perpendicular to an upper surface of the substrate, and defines unit pixel regions in which unit pixels are respectively formed. The light sensing element is formed in each of the unit pixel regions. The transistor is formed on the substrate. The color filter array layer is formed under the substrate, and includes color filters. The microlens is formed under the color filter array layer. The transistor includes a gate structure on an active fin protruding from the upper surface of the substrate and source/drain regions at portions of the active fin adjacent to the gate structure.
