    摘要: A plurality of pixels, each including a second conductivity-type photodiode portion 1 formed in a first conductivity-type well region and an amplifier transistor 6 for amplifying and outputting charge accumulated in the photodiode portion, are arrayed two-dimensionally. Furthermore, an intra-pixel contact 2 for providing the well region with a reference voltage is provided in the photodiode portion. With this configuration, it is possible to achieve a rational intra-pixel GND contact arrangement with which the afterimage characteristics are improved and the optical characteristics are not affected adversely.

    摘要: A MOS solid-state image pick-up device with a high S/N ratio is provided. On a surface of a photo-detecting section 2 formed inside a semiconductor substrate, an antireflection film 10 having a smaller area than a surface area of the photo-detecting section 2, with an insulating film 6 imposed therebetween, is provided. The antireflection film 10 is formed so as not to cover bordering portions between the photo-detecting section 2 and peripheral regions thereof. Each of a distance of a clearance S1 between the antireflection film 10 and a gate electrode 7 and a distance of a clearance between the antireflection film 10 and an element isolation region 5 is preferably equal to or greater than 0.2 μm. When the area of the antireflection film 10 is equal to or greater than 70% of the surface area of the photo-detecting section 2, even if used for a camera with interchangeable lenses, a fluctuation in sensitivity among pixels can be suppressed.

    摘要: Photosensitive cells each includes a photodiode (1), a transfer gate (2), a floating diffusion layer portion (3), an amplifying transistor (4), and a reset transistor (5). Drains of the amplifying transistors (4) of the photosensitive cells are connected to a power supply line (10), and a pulsed power supply voltage (VddC) is applied to the power supply line (10). Here, a low-level potential (VddC_L) of the power supply voltage has a predetermined potential higher than zero potential. Specifically, by making the low-level potential (VddC_L) higher than channel potentials obtained when a low level is applied to the reset transistors (5), or channel potentials obtained when a low level is applied to the transfer gates (2), or channel potentials of the photodiodes (1), a reproduced image with low noise is read.
