Patent ID: 7696544

Claim:
A solid-state image sensing device comprising: a charge storage portion formed in a semiconductor substrate; a floating diffusion portion formed correspondingly to the charge storage portion where the floating diffusion portion is at a location spaced from the charge storage portion in the semiconductor substrate; a device isolation region formed in the semiconductor substrate so as to surround sides of a pixel portion including the charge storage portion and the floating diffusion portion in the semiconductor substrate; a transfer gate formed on the pixel portion in the semiconductor substrate; and a buried gate embedded in at least a part of the device isolation region; wherein a first gate electrode of the buried gate is electrically connected to a second gate electrode of the transfer gate, the second gate electrode is disposed over a region located between the charge storage portion and the floating diffusion portion of the pixel portion, and the first gate electrode is, when viewed from the charge storage portion, formed in the device isolation region opposite to a side where the second gate electrode is disposed.
