Abstract:
An image sensor, imaging device, and method are provided. The image sensor includes a pixel array including an active area in which plural active pixels are located, and a dummy area in which plural dummy pixels are located, and a test element group (TEG) which is located in the dummy area and on which a test light-shielding pattern, different from a light-shielding pattern formed on the active area, is formed to detect a degree of misalignment between the light-shielding pattern and the active area.

Claim (Index 19):
The method of  claim 17 , wherein the testing whether the light-shielding pattern is aligned comprises detecting a degree of misalignment of the light-shielding pattern according to each of the plurality of semiconductor chips based on a plurality of pixel signals generated from the at least one TEG of each of the plurality of semiconductor chips.
