Patent ID: 8885083

Claim:
A solid state imaging device comprising: a pixel portion, wherein pixel sharing units are disposed in an array shape wherein a pixel transistor group excluding transfer transistors is shared by a plurality of photoelectric conversion portions within any one pixel sharing unit, wherein each pixel sharing unit includes at least two pixels, and wherein all of the pixels within each pixel sharing unit are disposed in a first direction; transfer wiring lines which are connected to the transfer gate electrodes of the transfer transistors of the pixel sharing unit and which are disposed to extend in a horizontal direction and to be in parallel in a vertical direction as seen from the top plane; and parallel wiring lines which are disposed to be adjacent to the transfer wiring lines in the pixel sharing unit and which are disposed to be in parallel to the transfer wiring lines as seen from the top plane, wherein voltages which are used to suppress potential change of the transfer gate electrodes are supplied to the parallel wiring lines.
