US Patent 9876044 Image sensor and method of manufacturing the same

An image sensor includes a semiconductor layer including a first surface and a second surface, which are opposite to each other. A plurality of unit pixels is in the semiconductor layer. Each of the unit pixels includes a first photoelectric converter and a second photoelectric converter. A first isolation layer isolates adjacent unit pixels from one another. A second isolation layer is between the first photoelectric converter and the second photoelectric converter. The first isolation layer has a different shape from the second isolation layer.
