PURPOSE: A CMOS(Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) image sensor is provided to reduce manufacture costs by recording a position information of a defect pixel in the sensor itself without an extra-chip. CONSTITUTION: A CMOS(Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) image sensor roughly comprises a pixel signal transformation unit(10) connected with each pixel, a fuse array unit(12) connected to the pixel signal transformation unit(10), a power supplier(16) providing power to the pixel signal transformation unit(10) through a logic gate, and a CI sensor input/output unit(14) outputting a digital signal provided from the pixel signal transformation unit(10) and inputting a defined control signal. Due to the composition of the CMOS image sensor, a defect pixel position is informed to an image signal processor(200) so as to recover the damaged data before operating the CMOS image sensor.
