Patent ID: 11936999
Assignee: SONY SEMICONDUCTOR SOLUTIONS CORPORATION
Field: Audio-visual technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 5:
6. A solid-state imaging device comprising:
photoelectric conversion elements that photoelectrically convert received light into signal charge corresponding to an amount of the received light,
floating diffusions that hold the signal charge obtained by the photoelectric conversion elements,
transfer control elements that control transfer of the signal charge from the photoelectric conversion elements to the floating diffusions, and
control circuitry configured to control application of driving voltages to the transfer control elements on the basis of convolution coefficients in a convolutional neural network (CNN), wherein
a plurality of pixels is arranged two-dimensionally and each of the plurality of pixels has a corresponding one of the photoelectric conversion elements and at least one of the transfer control elements,
each of the floating diffusions is formed in contact with a predetermined plural number of the transfer control elements, and
the floating diffusions are individually provided between pixels adjacent to each other in a vertical direction and between pixels adjacent to each other in a horizontal direction.
