    摘要: In a CCD image sensor, a plurality of horizontal CCD registers are disposed adjacent to an image sensing area having matrix-arrayed image sensing cells and a plurality of vertical CCD registers. In the CCD image sensor, the channel impurity concentration of second horizontal CCD register, located away from the image sensing area, is more higher than that of first horizontal CCD register. With this feature, when the charges are transferred to the second horizontal CCD register across the first horizontal register, the residual charges in the first horiozntal CCD register are remarkably reduced.

    摘要: A solid-state imaging device comprises, on a semiconductor substrate, a plurality of sensor sections for storing a signal charge commensurate with a quantity of reception light, a charge transfer section for transferring and outputting the signal charge of the sensor sections, and an output section for converting the signal charge transferred by the charge transfer section into an imaging signal for output. A current controller is provided to cut off or reduce a current flowing to the output section in a signal storage period of the sensor section. This cuts off or reduces the current flowing to the output section in a signal storage period of the sensor section, and hence suppresses the amount of the current flowing to the output section in the signal storage period. Thus, wasteful consumption power is greatly reduced.

    摘要: A solid-state image pickup device (1) comprises: an image sensor wafer (2A) including image sensors (3); an optically-transparent protection member (4) connected by use of an adhesive agent (7) via a spacer (5) arranged to surround the image sensors (3); and an electrostatic (ESD) protection circuit (10) disposed on the image sensor wafer (2A) so as to avoid a position corresponding to a connected surface where the spacer (5) and the image sensor wafer (2A) are connected. Accordingly, in this configuration, even when polarization occurs in the adhesive agent, since the p-well layer between diffusion layers of the ESD protection circuit is not disposed immediately below the connected surface, the p-well layer is not inverted by electric charges in the element interface and thus parasitic MOS transistor does not turn on, allowing suppression of leak current.
