Claim 10:
11. An image sensor, comprising:
a pixel, the pixel including
a photodiode,
a floating diffusion area, and
a plurality of transistors adjacent to the pixel in a first direction, the plurality of transistors disposed along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, wherein
the plurality of transistors include a first source follower transistor, a second source follower transistor, a first selection transistor, and a second selection transistor,
the first source follower transistor and the second source follower transistor are disposed between the first selection transistor and the second selection transistor,
gates of the first source follower transistor and the second source follower transistor are connected to the floating diffusion area, and
the first selection transistor and the first source follower transistor share a first source area, and the second source follower transistor and the second selection transistor share a second source area,

wherein the first selection transistor, the first source follower transistor, the second source follower transistor, and the second selection transistor are sequentially arranged along the second direction.
