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 17):
A method of manufacturing an image sensor chip package, the method comprising:\n providing a wafer on which a plurality of semiconductor chips, each comprising at least one test element group (TEG) including a plurality of dummy pixels are formed; forming a light-shielding pattern on a plurality of active pixels of each of the plurality of semiconductor chips, and forming a test light-shielding pattern on the at least one TEG of each of the plurality of semiconductor chips; testing whether the light-shielding pattern of each of the semiconductor chips is aligned based on a plurality of pixel signals generated from the at least one TEG of each of the plurality of semiconductor chips; for any of the plurality of semiconductor chips on which the light-shielding pattern is not aligned, re-forming the light-shielding pattern of the semiconductor chip according to a test result; providing an individual image sensor chip by separating the plurality of semiconductor chips from the wafer; and packaging the individual image sensor chip.
