Patent ID: 7995128

Claim:
A transfer pulse supplying circuit for supplying transfer pulses to a solid-state imaging apparatus including a charge transfer unit which transfers signal charge stored in charge accumulating units by changing potential of the charge accumulating units, the transfer pulse supplying circuit comprising: N (N is an integer of two or more) transfer pulse supplying wirings to which the transfer pulses are supplied; and lead-in wirings connecting the transfer pulse supplying wirings to corresponding lead-out wirings from the charge transfer unit, wherein the respective lead-in wirings all have substantially the same width and length, the lead-in wirings include a first region and a second region separated by slits, the first region is connected to the transfer pulse supplying wirings and the lead-out wiring, and the second region is connected to the lead-out wiring, and regions of the respective lead-in wirings connected to the transfer pulse supplying wirings all have substantially the same ratio of width to length.
