Abstract

Provided is an image sensor including a first layer including a first semiconductor substrate including a pixel unit in which a plurality of unit pixels are provided, and a first wiring layer provided on the first semiconductor substrate, a second layer including a second semiconductor substrate on which a plurality of transistors configured to operate a global shutter operation are provided, and a second wiring layer provided on the second semiconductor substrate, and provided on the first layer such that the first wiring layer and the second wiring layer oppose each other in a first direction, a plurality of first bonding structures bonding the first layer to the second layer based on a first bonding metal exposed on a surface of the first wiring layer being in contact with a second bonding metal exposed on a surface of the second wiring layer, a third layer including a third semiconductor substrate on which a logic circuit is provided, and a third wiring layer provided on the third semiconductor substrate, and bonded to the second layer such that the second semiconductor substrate and the third wiring layer oppose each other in the first direction, and a plurality of second bond…
