Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2604905
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
A solid state imaging device comprising: a first charge-coupled device (5) having transfer electrodes (11,12); a first plurality of light receiving elements (4-1 to 4-4), each coupled through a transfer gate (6) to a respective stage of the first charge-coupled device (5), charge input means (2) for controlling a quantity of charge input from a charge input source (10) to an initial stage of the first charge-coupled device; and clocking means arranged to supply clock pulses ( phi 1, phi 2) to the transfer electrodes (11,12) of the first charge-coupled device to transfer charges (Q0,Q1,Q2) along the first charge-coupled device. The charge input means (2) comprises a first electrode (71), a second electrode (72) adjacent to, and downstream of, the first electrode (71) and a third electrode (73) adjacent to, and downstream of the second electrode (72). A first one (4-1) of the light receiving elements (4-1) is coupled to a region under the third electrode (73) which region is part of the initial stage of the first charge-coupled device (5).
