Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 15:
16. An image sensor comprising:
a substrate including a first surface and a second surface, which is opposite to the first surface and upon which light is incident;
a photoelectric conversion layer in the substrate;
a capacitor in the substrate, the capacitor extending in a first direction, which is perpendicular to the first surface, along the photoelectric conversion layer;
a transfer gate disposed on the first surface of the substrate;
a first impurity-injected area disposed on the first surface of the substrate and connected to the transfer gate; and
a connecting structure disposed on the first surface of the substrate, wherein:
the capacitor and the first impurity-injected area are connected by the connecting structure, and
an electric charge received by the capacitor from the photoelectric conversion layer is transferred by the capacitor to the first impurity-injected area without passing through the transfer gate.
