Abstract
Disclosed is an image sensor with a 3D stack structure, in which pixels of a top plate are realized as image pixels and pixels of a bottom plate are realized as pixels for realizing a phase difference AF, so that the phase difference AF is realized without loss of resolution. In the image sensor with a 3D stack structure, a problem of the reduction of resolution, which is a disadvantage of an existing imaging surface phase difference AF device, is solved, so that a fast phase difference AF is realized while maintaining high resolution without a separate phase difference AF module.
