Abstract:
An image sensor includes a pixel array including pixel blocks, each comprising a light receiving section including unit pixels sharing a floating diffusion; and a driving section including a reset transistor and a driver transistor, wherein the pixel blocks include a first pixel block and a second pixel block which are adjacent to each other in a first direction, and a third pixel block and a fourth pixel block which are adjacent to the first pixel block and the second pixel block, respectively, in a second direction, and wherein the reset transistor of the first pixel block and the reset transistor of the second pixel block share a drain between the reset transistors, and the driver transistor of the third pixel block and the driver transistor of the fourth pixel block share a drain between the driver transistors.

Claim (Index 9):
An image sensor comprising:\n a pixel array including a plurality of pixel blocks, each of the plurality of pixel blocks comprising:\n a light receiving section including a plurality of unit pixels which share a floating diffusion; \n a driving section formed adjacent to the light receiving section, and including a reset transistor and a driver transistor; and \n an intercoupling section including a first conductive region which electrically couples the floating diffusion with the reset transistor and the driver transistor, and a second conductive region which has a shape symmetrical to the first conductive region based on the floating diffusion and is not electrically coupled to the reset transistor and the driver transistor, \n wherein the plurality of pixel blocks include a first pixel block and a second pixel block which are adjacent to each other in a first direction, and a third pixel block and a fourth pixel block which are adjacent to the first pixel block and the second pixel block, respectively, in a second direction intersecting with the first direction, and are further adjacent to each other in the first direction, and wherein the reset transistor of the driving section of the first pixel block and the reset transistor of the driving section of the second pixel block share a drain between the reset transistors, and the driver transistor of the driving section of the third pixel block and the driver transistor of the driving section of the fourth pixel block share a drain between the driver transistors.
