Abstract:
A semiconductor element includes a semiconductor region ( 11 ) of a first conductivity type, a buried charge-generation region ( 16 ) of a second conductivity type, buried in an upper portion of the semiconductor region ( 11 ) to implement a photodiode (D 1 ) together with the semiconductor region ( 11 ) to generate charges, a charge-readout region ( 15 ) of the second conductivity type, provided in the semiconductor region ( 11 ) to accumulate the charges transferred from the buried charge-generation region ( 16 ), and a reset-performing region ( 12 ) of the second conductivity type, provided in the semiconductor region ( 11 ), a variable voltage is applied to the reset-performing region ( 12 ) to change the height of a potential barrier generated in the semiconductor region ( 11 ) sandwiched between the charge-readout region ( 15 ) and the reset-performing region ( 12 ) to exhaust the charges accumulated in the charge-readout region ( 15 ). The semiconductor element has a high pixel conversion gain, ultralow noise of a photon counting level and implements a solid-state imaging device.

Claim (Index 7):
The solid-state imaging device according to  claim 5 , wherein the charge-readout functional region is made of a charge-guiding region of the second conductivity type, functioning as a charge-readout region.
