Abstract:
A photodetection device includes: a photoelectric converter generating charge; a first channel having first and second ends, the first end being connected to the photoelectric converter, charge being transferred from the first end toward the second end; a second channel diverging from the first channel at a first position of the first channel; a third channel diverging from the first channel at a second position of the first channel; a first accumulator accumulating charge transferred from the first channel through the second channel; a second accumulator accumulating charge transferred from the first channel through the third channel; and at least one first gate electrode switching between transfer/cutoff of charge in the second channel, and switching between transfer/cutoff of charge in the third channel, a width of the first channel at the first end being greater than a width of the first channel at the second end in a plan view.

Claim (Index 5):
The photodetection device according to  claim 4 , wherein a width of the second gate electrode monotonically decreases from the third end toward the fourth end.
