摘要:
A solid-state image pickup device includes, in a substrate, a plurality of photoelectric conversion regions for subjecting incoming light to photoelectric conversion, a reading gate for reading a signal charge from the photoelectric conversion regions, and a transfer register (vertical register) for transferring the signal charge read by the reading gate. Therein, a groove is formed on the surface side of the substrate, and the transfer register and the reading gate are formed at the bottom part of the groove. With such a structure, in the solid-state image pickup device, reduction can be achieved for the smear characteristics, a reading voltage, noise, and others.
摘要:
A solid-state imaging device includes light-sensing sections serving as pixels, and waveguides each including a core layer and a cladding layer, the waveguides each being disposed at a position corresponding to one of the light-sensing sections. A cross-sectional structure of the waveguide taken in the horizontal direction of an imaging plane is different from a cross-sectional structure of the waveguide taken in the vertical direction of the imaging plane.
