Abstract:
A photoelectric conversion device includes a plurality of pixels each of which includes a photoelectric converter that generates charges by photoelectric conversion, a first transfer unit that transfers charges in the photoelectric converter to a first holding portion, a second transfer unit that transfers charges in the first holding portion to a second holding portion, an amplifier unit that outputs a signal based on charges held in the second holding portion, and a third transfer unit that transfers charges of the photoelectric converter to a drain portion; and a control unit that, in an exposure period in which signal charges are accumulated in the photoelectric converter, changes a potential barrier formed by the third transfer unit with respect to the signal charges accumulated in the photoelectric converter from a first level to a second level that is higher than the first level.

Claim (Index 21):
The photoelectric conversion device according to  claim 1 , wherein\n the exposure period includes a period which starts at a first time point when both the first and third transfer units become in an off state on at least one of the first and third transfer units turning off and ends at a second time point when the first transfer unit turns on for a first time after the first time point, the control unit changes the potential barrier from the first level to the second level within the period.
