Abstract:
1. A camera, comprising: an optical lens; and a solid-state imaging device for converting an image obtained through the optical lens to an electric signal, said solid-state imaging device comprising: a plurality of light receiving portions arranged in a first direction and a second direction perpendicular to the first direction; a plurality of transfer channels extending in the second direction, each being arranged between the neighboring light receiving portions; a plurality of first transfer electrodes arranged on said transfer channels, the neighboring first transfer electrodes positioned at both sides of the light receiving portion being connected in the first direction; a plurality of second transfer electrodes arranged in the same layer of said first transfer electrodes, on said transfer channel; and low-resistance wirings of which the number corresponds to the number of transfer electrodes, extending over said first transfer electrode in the first direction, and having a lower resistance than those of said first transfer electrodes and said second transfer electrodes, each of said low-resistance wirings being connected to the first transfer electrode and the second transfer electrode on each transfer channel through a connecting portion.
