Patent ID: 6960817

Claim:
An imaging device having a first color picture cell array which contains picture cells having a photo-electric converting element for converting incident light to electric signals arranged two-dimensionally, and a second color picture cell array which contains picture cells having a photo-electric converting element for converting incident light to electric signals arranged two-dimensionally, placed in juxtaposition on a substrate, wherein the first and second color picture cell arrays are each provided with a respective color filter of a single color and a focusing lens, wherein said substrate is formed from a material having a first conductivity type and has a common well formed therein from a material having the opposite conductivity type to said substrate, said common well having doped regions therein of the same conductivity as said common well, wherein well contacts are provided on said doped regions of said common well which said doped regions are provided for at least at a side situated between the first and second color picture cell arrays with respect to each of the first and second color picture cell arrays, wherein a number of sides of each color picture cell arrays, at which sides the well contacts were set, are the same as one another, and wherein each of said well contacts are connected to each of said doped regions.
