    Abstract: A signal charge collecting region is disposed inside a charge generating region so as to be surrounded by the charge generating region, and collects signal charges from the charge generating region. An unnecessary charge collecting region is disposed outside the charge generating region so as to surround the charge generating region, and collects unnecessary charges from the charge generating region. A transfer electrode is disposed between the signal charge collecting region and the charge generating region, and causes the signal charges from the charge generating region to flow into the signal charge collecting region in response to an input signal. An unnecessary charge collecting gate electrode is disposed between the unnecessary charge collecting region and the charge generating region, and causes the unnecessary charges from the charge generating region to flow into the unnecessary charge collecting region in response to an input signal.

    Abstract: The present embodiment relates to a distance sensor that reduces a difference in amounts of current injected into each of plural charge collection regions prepared for one photosensitive region in order to avoid saturation caused by disturbance light. A current injection circuit injecting current into each charge collection region includes a voltage generation circuit generating a control voltage for adjustment of the injected current amount, and the voltage generation circuit generates the control voltage corresponding to a large amount of charge between the charge amounts of storage nodes coupled, respectively, to the charge collection regions. Meanwhile, a cascode device is disposed between a transistor configured to adjust the amount of current according to the control voltage and the storage node, and a potential of a current output end of the transistor and a potential of the storage node are separated.
