Abstract
A two-dimensional solid-state image sensor device comprising a plurality of picture cells two-dimensionally arranged in column and row directions. Each cell has a static induction transistor having drain and source regions disposed on opposite sides of a high resistance semiconductor channel region, and control and shielding gate regions adjacent to the channel region to control a current flowing between the drain and source regions, and a transparent electrode disposed via a capacitance on at least a portion of the control gate region, in a manner that light is incident through the transparent electrode to the control gate region in which the charge produced by the light excitation is stored to control the current. Selection lines and signal readout lines are connected to the control gate regions in each column in common via the capacitances and to the drain or source regions in each row in common, respectively. Each picture cell is selected in the column and row directions so that a signal is read out therefrom.
