Zusammenfassung:An image sensor, including a shared pixel including two sub pixels of a 1X2 structure and sharing a floating diffusion region on each of the two sub pixels through a metal wiring, unit pixels surrounding the floating diffusion region, within the shared pixel, separated from each other by front-side deep trench isolation, and each including a photodiode, a transfer transistor adjacent to the floating diffusion region and on each of the unit pixels, a reset transistor and a selection transistor on a first unit pixel located in a first quadrant among the unit pixels, a conversion gain transistor on a second unit pixel located in a second quadrant among the unit pixels, and a source follower transistor on a third unit pixel located in a third quadrant and a fourth unit pixel located in a fourth quadrant among the unit pixels.
