Assignee: SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.
Field: Semiconductors (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 14:
15. An image sensor, comprising:
a plurality of unit pixels, each of the plurality of unit pixels including
a photodiode;
a transfer transistor connected to the photodiode;
a reset transistor, a source of the reset transistor connected to a source of the transfer transistor;
three source follower transistors, a drain of each source follower transistor of the three source follower transistors connected to a drain of the reset transistor; and
a selection transistor, a source of the selection transistor connected to a source of each source follower transistor of the three source follower transistors such that
the image sensor is configured to cause a voltage to be applied to the selection transistor through each source follower transistor of the three source follower transistors in parallel,

wherein the three source follower transistors are connected between the drain of the reset transistor and the source of the selection transistor in parallel.
