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 4):
The photodetection device according to  claim 1 , further comprising\n a second gate electrode that covers the first charge transfer channel, the second gate electrode switching between transfer and cutoff of charge in the first charge transfer channel, wherein the second gate electrode has a third end and a fourth end, the third end being on a side of the first end, the fourth end being on a side of the second end, and a width of the second gate electrode at the third end is greater than a width of the second gate electrode at the fourth end.
