Solid-state imaging device, driving method thereof, and electronic device

摘要

A solid-state imaging device including a pixel region in which a plurality of pixels are arranged. The pixels each includes a photoelectric conversion section, a transfer transistor, a plurality of floating diffusion sections receiving a charge from the photoelectric conversion section through the transfer transistor, a reset transistor resetting the floating diffusion sections, a separating transistor performing on-off control of a connection between the plurality of floating diffusion sections, and an amplifying transistor outputting a signal corresponding to a potential of the floating diffusion sections.

1. A solid-state imaging device comprising a pixel region in which a plurality of pixels are arranged, the pixels each including:
(a) a photoelectric converter; (b) a transfer transistor; (c) a plurality of floating diffusions that receive a charge from the photoelectric converter through the transfer transistor, a first one of the floating diffusions being the first in line to receive the charge from the photoelectric converter; (d) a reset transistor that resets the floating diffusions; (e) between each floating diffusion and a subsequent floating diffusion, as viewed from the photoelectric converter, a separating transistor that makes or breaks a connection between them; and (f) an amplifying transistor that outputs a signal corresponding to a potential of at least one of the floating diffusions and that has an input directly connected to the first floating diffusion.
