SOLID-STATE IMAGING APPARATUS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a solid-state imaging apparatus capable of making an output property or a noise level of a pixel adjacent to a dummy photodiode closer to that of another pixel.SOLUTION: A solid-state imaging apparatus 1A comprises a light-receiving part 20, an unwanted carrier capturing part 30 and a vertical shift register 60. The unwanted carrier capturing part 30 includes carrier capturing areas DA-DAwhich are disposed for each row in an area between the light-receiving part 20 and the vertical shift register 60. Each of the carrier capturing areas DA-DAincludes a transistor and a photodiode. One end of the transistor is connected to the photodiode and the other end is connected to electric charge discharging wiring R. The electric charge discharging wiring Ris short-circuited to a reference potential line GND.
