A plurality of pixel portions (12) are formed on a silicon substrate (11). A photoelectric converter portion (10) constituting each of the pixel portions (12) is electrically isolated by an element isolation portion (13) comprising an insulating film formed on the silicon substrate (11). The photoelectric converter portion (10) partitioned by the element isolation portion (13) is so formed that a crystal orientation of the sides in contact with the element isolation portion (13) corresponds to a direction. This makes it possible to reduce dark current caused by stress in the vicinity of the interface of the element isolation portion (13) and maintain high sensitivity even if the pixel portions (12) are made smaller in size.

An image forming apparatus includes an image bearing member, a medium transport member, an image transfer member, a first detection member detecting widthwise deviation of the image bearing member, a first deviation correcting member tiltable relative to the width direction and supporting the image bearing member, a first correction control section tilting the first deviation correcting member to correct deviation of the image bearing member, a second detection member detecting widthwise deviation of the transport member, a second deviation correcting member tiltable relative to the width direction and supporting the transport member, and a second correction control section tilting the second deviation correcting member to correct deviation of the transport member. A width-direction moving amount of the image bearing member per unit time when the first deviation correcting member is tilted is larger than that of the transport member per unit time when the second deviation correcting member is tilted.
