Abstract:
A solid state imaging device comprising:a first element separation region in which a plurality of columns of a vertical charge transfer element set formed from bidirectionally transferable charge transfer apparatus which have electrodes to which a predetermined potential is applied, a photoelectric transform element set disposed corresponding to said vertical charge transfer member set, a first horizontal charge transfer element which have electrodes to which a predetermined potential is applied electrically coupled to one end of said vertical charge transfer element set, and a second horizontal charge transfer element which have electrodes to which a predetermined potential is applied electrically coupled to the other end of said vertical charge transfer element set are formed,a second element separation region in which an outputting circuit element electrically coupled to each of the opposite ends or one end of each of said first and second horizontal charge transfer elements, anda charge storage layer of a conduction type same as those of said first element separation region and said second element separation region formed below electrodes in said vertical charge transfer element set or said horizontal charge transfer element set.
