<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a solid-state imaging apparatus, capable of reducing color mixture and sensitivity nonuniformity, while suppressing the generation of dark current, and to provide a method of driving the same and an imaging system. <P>SOLUTION: The solid-state imaging apparatus has a plurality of pixels, wherein each pixel includes: a photoelectric converter that converts incoming light into an electric charge; an accumulating part that accumulates the electric charge converted by the photoelectric converter; a first transfer part that transfers the electric charge converted by the photoelectric converter to the accumulating part; a second transfer part that transfers the electric charge accumulated in the accumulating part to a floating diffusion region; and an amplifier that amplifies the electric charge in the floating diffusion region. The first transfer part transfers the electric charge converted by the photoelectric converter to the accumulating part a plurality of times, and makes the accumulating part cumulatively accumulate the electric charge transferred the plurality of times. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
