Abstract:
An image sensor includes an image sensing plane in which a plurality of pixels are two-dimensionally arranged and at least a portion of a region thereof has a curved shape, and a plurality of well contacts that fix a well potential and are connected to a portion of pixels from among the plurality of pixels. The well contacts are arranged such that an arrangement density thereof in the image sensing plane is different in each region according to the curved shape of the image sensing plane.
