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 4):
The image sensor of  claim 3 , wherein the plurality of first group dummy pixels comprise a first dummy pixel, a second dummy pixel and a third dummy pixel located adjacent to at an upper side or a lower side of the at least one TEG,\n wherein the first test light-shielding pattern comprises a first test light-shielding structure formed on the first dummy pixel, a second test light-shielding structure formed on the second dummy pixel, and a third test light-shielding structure formed on the third dummy pixel, wherein the second test light-shielding structure is spaced apart by a first distance in a left or right direction of the at least one TEG from a first start line of the first test light-shielding structure, and the third test light-shielding structure is spaced apart by a second distance in the left or right direction of the at least one TEG from a second start line of the second test light-shielding structure.
