Claim Text:
1. A solid-state image capture device comprising a plurality of pixels and a first substrate and a second substrate in which circuit elements constituting the pixels are disposed and which are electrically connected by a connection unit, wherein the pixels comprise: photoelectric conversion elements disposed in the first substrate and generating signals corresponding to amounts of incident light; sample and hold capacitors disposed in the second substrate and holding output signals corresponding to the signals generated by the photoelectric conversion elements; and a clamp capacitor disposed in the second substrate, shared by the plurality of pixels, and clamping voltages of the output signals held in the plurality of sample and hold capacitors, the sample and hold capacitors and the clamp capacitor are capacitors having a structure in which two sheets of metal electrodes having a quadrangular flat plate shape are opposite to each other, and in the plurality of pixels sharing the clamp capacitor, distances between two adjacent sample and hold capacitors are identical, lengths of one sides of two adjacent sample and hold capacitors are identical, distances between the respective sample and hold capacitors and the clamp capacitor are identical, and lengths of one sides of the sample and hold capacitors opposite to the clamp capacitor are identical.
