Abstract
Disclosed is a CMOS image sensor including a gate electrode of a finger type transfer transistor for controlling the saturation state of a floating diffusion region according to the luminance level (i.e. low luminance or high luminance). The CMOS image sensor includes first and second photodiode regions for generating electrons in response to incident light, and a transfer transistor positioned between the first and second photodiodes for receiving the generated electrons transferred from the first and/or second photodiode.
