Abstract:
A solid-state imaging device includes a plurality of pixels each including a photoelectric conversion unit, a first holding portion holding charges transferred from the photoelectric conversion unit, a second holding portion holding charges transferred from the first holding portion, and an amplifier unit outputting a signal based on charges in the second holding portion. The photoelectric conversion unit includes a first conductivity type first semiconductor region, a second conductivity type second semiconductor region thereunder, a first conductivity type third semiconductor region thereunder, and a second conductivity type fourth semiconductor region thereunder. The first holding portion includes a second conductivity type fifth semiconductor region and a first conductivity type sixth semiconductor region thereunder at a depth of the third semiconductor region being provided. A semiconductor region having a lower potential than the third semiconductor region and the sixth semiconductor region is provided between the third and sixth semiconductor regions.

Claim (Index 13):
A solid-state imaging device comprising:\n a plurality of pixels each of which includes a photoelectric conversion unit that generates charges by photoelectric conversion; a first holding portion that holds charges transferred from the photoelectric conversion unit; a second holding portion that holds charges transferred from the first holding portion; and an amplifier unit that outputs a signal based on an amount of charges held by the second holding portion, wherein the photoelectric conversion unit includes\n a first semiconductor region of a first conductivity type provided on a surface of a semiconductor substrate, and \n a second semiconductor region of a second conductivity type provided under the first semiconductor region and adapted to accumulate the generated charges, and \n wherein the first holding portion includes\n a fifth semiconductor region of the second conductivity type provided spaced apart from the second semiconductor region, \n wherein the solid-state imaging device further comprising\n a third semiconductor region of the first conductivity type provided under the second semiconductor region and the fifth semiconductor region, and \n a fourth semiconductor region of the second conductivity type provided under the third semiconductor regions, and \n wherein the second semiconductor region and the fourth semiconductor region are at least partially connected to each other.
