Abstract:
1. A solid-state imaging apparatus which performs a global electronic shutter operation, comprising: plural unit pixels which are arranged in two-dimensional matrix, each unit pixel comprising: a photoelectric converting unit; a holding unit which holds a signal generated in the photoelectric converting unit; an amplifying unit; a first transfer gate which transfers the signal generated in the photoelectric converting unit to the holding unit; and a second transfer gate which transfers the signal held in the holding unit to the amplifying unit; the solid-state imaging apparatus further comprising: a driving pulse supplying unit which simultaneously supplies driving pulses to the first transfer gates of the plural unit pixels including in plural rows; and a vertical scanning circuit which sequentially supplies the driving pulses to the second transfer gates of the plural unit pixels included in the plural rows for each row, wherein a well in which a transistor constituting the driving pulse supplying unit is formed is separated from a well in which a transistor constituting an output part of the vertical scanning circuit is formed.
