Abstract
An image sensor includes a substrate having a first surface opposing a second surface and a plurality of pixel regions. A photoelectric converter is included in each of the pixel regions, and a gate electrode is formed on the photoelectric converter. Also, a pixel isolation region isolates adjacent pixel regions. The pixel isolation region includes a first isolation layer coupled to a channel stop region. The channel stop region may include an impurity-doped region.
