Abstract:
Disclosed is an image sensor device including a pixel array in which a plurality of pixel blocks are arranged. Each of the pixel blocks may include: a light receiver comprising a floating diffusion and a plurality of unit pixels and configured to receive incident light and generate photo charges in response to the received incident light, the plurality of unit pixels sharing the floating diffusion; a first driver located at a first side of the light receiver and comprising a driver transistor; a second driver located at a second side of the light receiver and comprising a reset transistor; and a conductive line having a first region coupling the driver transistor to the floating diffusion and a second region coupling the floating diffusion to the reset transistor, wherein the driver transistor and the reset transistor are respectively located the first side and the second side of the light receiver in a diagonal direction.
