Abstract:
A solid-state image sensor includes: a pixel array that includes first pixels, each having first and second photoelectric conversion units, and second pixels, each having third and fourth photoelectric conversion units; first to fourth transfer gates via which a signal charge respectively generated in the first to fourth photoelectric conversion units is respectively transferred to first to fourth charge voltage conversion units. At least one of a gate width, a gate length and an installation position of at least one transfer gate among the first to fourth transfer gates is altered to achieve uniformity in voltage conversion efficiency at the first to fourth charge voltage conversion units.

Claim (Index 7):
A solid-state image sensor, comprising:\n first pixels each including a first photoelectric conversion unit, which includes photoelectric conversion areas divided from each other along a horizontal direction, and a plurality of first transfer gates via which electric charges resulting from photoelectric conversion executed in the first photoelectric conversion unit are transferred to first charge voltage conversion units from the first photoelectric conversion unit; and second pixels each including a second photoelectric conversion unit, which includes photoelectric conversion areas divided from each other along a vertical direction, and a plurality of second transfer gates via which electric charges resulting from photoelectric conversion executed in the second photoelectric conversion unit are transferred to second charge voltage conversion units from the second photoelectric conversion unit, wherein: installation positions at which the first transfer gates are disposed at each of the first pixels are substantially identical to installation positions at which the second transfer gates are disposed at each of the second pixels.
