ABSTRACT:
In one aspect, an image sensor is provided which includes an array of unit active pixels. Each of the unit active pixels comprises a first active area including a plurality of photoelectric conversion regions, and a second active area separated from the first active area. The first active areas are arranged in rows and columns so as to define row and column extending spacings there between, and the second active areas are located at respective intersections of the row and column extending spacings defined between the first active areas.
