Abstract:
1. A solid-state image pickup apparatus having a pixel configuration including plural photodiodes and plural transistors and comprising a plurality of such pixels, wherein: the plural transistors include plural transfer transistors for respectively transferring signals from the plural photodiodes, a reset transistor for resetting the plural photodiodes, an amplifying transistor for converting the signal, transferred by the transfer transistors, into a voltage, and a selecting transistor for connecting output of the amplifying transistor to a common output line; gates and wirings to the gates in at least two of the reset transistor, the amplifying transistor and the selecting transistor are adjacent to any one of the plural photodiodes; and the gate and the wiring to the gate in each of the transistors, adjacent to the photodiodes, have a same sum of length.
