SOLID-STATE IMAGE PICKUP DEVICE

摘要

PURPOSE:To uniformize the amount of electric charge stored by various charge storing regions, by connecting first and second channel stopping regions at their required sections by means of resistance regions having a required resistance. CONSTITUTION:A second channel stopping region 21B is provided so as to be connected from the ends of a first channel stopping region 21A and to surround the region 21A. This second channel stopping region 21B includes a channel stopping region LCS having a low concentration of impurity and a channel stopping region HCS having a higher concentration of impurity than that of the region LCS. An aluminium wiring 41 is adhered on and along the region HCS as indicated by the broken line so that the wiring 41 is contacted with the region HCS at a plurality of sites 42 as indicated by the marks (x). Thus, these contact sites provide terminals to which the wiring 41 gives a ground potential or a predetermined potential.
