Abstract

A semiconductor device and an image sensor, the semiconductor device including a substrate; a photoelectric conversion device in the substrate; a first floating diffusion region adjacent to the photoelectric conversion device; a transfer transistor connected to the photoelectric conversion device and the first floating diffusion region; a reset transistor connected to the first floating diffusion region; a dual conversion gain (DCG) transistor between the first floating diffusion region and the reset transistor; a second floating diffusion region between the DCG transistor and the reset transistor; and an extension pattern, a first portion of the extension pattern being in contact with the second floating diffusion region.
