Abstract:
A solid state imaging apparatus which includesa plurality of photoelectric transducers,vertical CCD registers for receiving and transferring charge of said photoelectric transducers via charge read-out regions,a horizontal CCD register for receiving and transferring charge from said vertical CCD registers,a charge detector for detecting charge from said horizontal CCD register, andan output amplifier for amplifying and outputting charge from said charge detector, and whereinmetal wirings for supplying driving pulses to vertical transfer electrodes of said vertical CCD registers disposed vertically along said vertical CCD registers, andsaid metal wirings are formed having projecting portions in regions between adjacent ones of said photoelectric transducers in the vertical direction and the distance between the projecting portions of the adjacent ones of said metal wirings is 0.2 .mu.m or less so that leakage of visible light between said projecting portions is reduced substantially to zero.
