Patent ID: 7800191

Claim:
A solid-state imaging device comprising: a pixel array including photodiodes for accumulating an amount of electric charges corresponding to the intensity of received light, floating diffusions to which electric charges accumulated by the photodiodes are transferred, transfer transistors for controlling transfer of electric charges from the photodiodes to the floating diffusions, and amplifying transistors having a source from which a signal corresponding to electric charges transferred to the floating diffusion is output, wherein a plurality of cells are provided in the pixel array; a plurality of power supply lines provided over the pixel array and connected to drains of the amplifying transistors; a plurality of vertical signal lines provided over the pixel array and connected to sources of the amplifying transistors; and a plurality of floating diffusion wires provided over the pixel array, connecting gate electrodes of the amplifying transistors and the floating diffusions, wherein the plurality of power supply lines and the plurality of vertical signal lines extend in a column direction, first photodiode groups of the photodiodes are between pairs of power supply lines, second photodiode groups of the photodiodes are between pairs of vertical signal lines, the pairs of power supply lines and the pairs of vertical signal lines are positioned alternately, and the plurality of power supply lines and the plurality of vertical signal lines are shifted to the center of the pixel array.
