    摘要: A solid-state imaging apparatus includes the carrier holding portion and the amplifying portion in each pixel, wherein a first voltage supplied to a transfer electrode when the transfer portion for transferring carriers from the carrier holding portion to the amplifying portion is placed in a non-conducting state is opposite in polarity to a voltage supplied to the transfer electrode during the turning on period of the transfer portion, and a second voltage supplied to the control electrode of the carrier holding portion during a holding period in which the carriers are retained in the carrier holding portion is the same in polarity as the first voltage and is larger in absolute value than the first voltage.

    摘要: An N-type semiconductor region and a floating diffusion region are disposed in an active region. A transfer gate electrode for transferring charges from a PD to an FD is disposed on a semiconductor substrate through an insulator. A part of the N-type semiconductor region constituting the PD and a part of the transfer gate electrode are overlapped with each other. A P-type semiconductor region is disposed in the active region. The P-type semiconductor region and the portion overlapped with the transfer gate electrode of the N-type semiconductor region are disposed adjacent to each other in the direction parallel to the interface of the semiconductor substrate and the insulator. The position of the impurity concentration peak of the N-type semiconductor region and the position of the impurity concentration peak of the P-type semiconductor region are different from each other in depth.

    摘要: An overtaking state is detected which is at least one of a first state where an own vehicle (MM) is overtaking an obstacle (SM) in a posterolateral direction of the own vehicle (MM) and a second state where the own vehicle (MM) is estimated to overtake the obstacle (SM). In the implementation of an obstacle access prevention control for preventing the own vehicle (MM) from accessing the obstacle (SM) present in the posterolateral direction of the own vehicle (MM), when a determination that the overtaking state is established is made based on the detecting, the obstacle access prevention control with respect to the obstacle (SM) is suppressed compared with when the determination that the overtaking state is established is not made.
