Patent ID: 7348614

Claim:
A solid-state imaging device, comprising: a plurality of light receiving portions arranged in a first direction and a second direction perpendicular to the first direction; a plurality of transfer channels extending in the second direction, each being positioned between neighboring light receiving portions; a plurality of first transfer electrodes positioned over said transfer channels, neighboring first transfer electrodes being connected in the first direction positioned at both sides of each light receiving portion; a plurality of second transfer electrodes positioned over on said transfer channels, said first transfer electrodes and said second transfer electrodes being formed in the same layer; and low-resistance wirings, the number of which corresponds to the number of transfer electrodes, extending over said first transfer electrodes in the first direction, and having a resistance lower than any of said first transfer electrodes and said second transfer electrodes, each of said low-resistance wirings being connected to the first transfer electrodes and the second transfer electrodes over each of said transfer channels through a connecting portion.
