Complementary metal oxide semiconductor image sensor with multi-floating diffusion region

1. A unit pixel of a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor, the unit pixel comprising:

a photodiode region disposed in entire areas of a bottom region of the unit pixel;

a reset gate, a drive gate and a selection gate disposed in an upper part of a top region of the unit pixel;

a plurality of floating diffusion regions disposed with a uniform size at least at two corners of the photodiode region; and

a transfer gate disposed in the photodiode region to define the floating diffusion regions,

wherein the unit pixel has a rectangular shape and is defined with the top region and the bottom region, and an area of the bottom region is larger than an area of the top region, and

wherein the photodiode region has a rectangular shape by having a first side contacting to the top region, a second and a third sides, each contacting to each end of the first side, and a fourth side connecting the second side to the third side; and

the floating diffusion regions include a first region formed at a corner in which the second side and the fourth side meet, a second region formed in a corner at which the third side and the fourth side meet, and a third region formed at a corner in which the first side and the third side meet.

2. The unit pixel of the CMOS image sensor as recited in claim 1 , wherein the floating diffusion regions are formed at corners of the photodiode region except for a junction region between the photodiode region and the top region.

3. The unit pixel of the CMOS image sensor as recited in claim 1 , wherein the transfer gate connects a floating diffusion contact to the floating diffusion region and the floating diffusion contact is connected to the drive gate.
