Abstract:
A solid-state imaging device comprises a photodetecting section, an unnecessary carrier capture section, and a vertical shift register. The unnecessary carrier capture section has carrier capture regions arranged in a region between the photodetecting section and the vertical shift register for respective rows. Each of the carrier capture regions includes a transistor and a photodiode. The transistor has one terminal connected to the photodiode and the other terminal connected to a charge elimination line. The charge elimination line is short-circuited to a reference potential line.

Claim (Index 17):
The solid-state imaging device manufacturing method according to  claim 16 , wherein the dummy photodiode has a width in the column direction shorter than that of the first photodiode in the column direction.
