SOLID-STATE IMAGING DEVICE AND CAMERA

摘要

A solid-state imaging device comprises a plurality of photoelectric conversion elements (103), a vertical transfer section (101), a horizontal transfer section (102), and a transfer control section (104) which controls transfer of charges from the vertical transfer section (101) to the horizontal transfer section (102).  The transfer control section (104) has a plurality of unit control sections (143) corresponding to transfer packets (123).  The unit control section (143) has a vertical transfer channel (111) and a plurality of control section electrodes (142) formed on the vertical transfer channel (111).  The control section electrode (142) includes a signal charge accumulation electrode (147) and a transfer block electrode (148) which are formed sequentially from the vertical transfer section (101) side.  Each vertical transfer channel (111) is connected with a horizontal transfer channel (121) independently. When transfer of charges from the vertical transfer section (101) to the horizontal transfer section (102) is stopped, a high-level voltage is applied to the signal charge accumulation electrode (147), and a low-level voltage is applied to the transfer block electrode (148).
