PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To cope with both the reduction of the pixel size and the improvement of the SN ratio. SOLUTION: The imaging apparatus has a plurality of pixels each involving a photoelectric converter, a field effect transistor for amplifying and outputting a signal from the photoelectric converter, a transfer switch for transferring the signal from the photoelectric converter to the amplifier, and a reset switch for resetting the input of the field effect transistor; output lines for outputting signals from the plurality of pixels; and a means for selectively supplying a first potential and a second potential different from the first potential to the inputs of the field effect transistors involved in the plurality of pixels. The field effect transistors are of a depression type. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI
