MOS type solid-state image pickup device and driving method comprised of a photodiode, a detection portion, and a transfer transistor

摘要

An MOS type solid-state image pickup device including pixels each of which comprises a photodiode PD, a detection portion N and a transfer transistor QT for transferring the charges accumulated in the photodiode PD to the detection portion N, wherein the gate voltage of the transfer transistor QT when the charges are accumulated in the photodiode PD is set to a negative.
