Abstract
To suppress deterioration of image quality. A solid-state imaging device () according to an embodiment includes a plurality of unit pixels () each of which includes a photoelectric conversion element (PD) configured to generate an electric charge corresponding to an incident light quantity, a transfer transistor () configured to transfer the electric charge generated in the photoelectric conversion element, a charge accumulation unit (FD) configured to accumulate the electric charge transferred by the transfer transistor, an amplification transistor () including at least two fingers that are connected to the charge accumulation unit in parallel, and a selection transistor () that is disposed corresponding to each of the fingers of the amplification transistor on a one-to-one basis.
