Abstract
Disclosed is a two-dimensionally arrayed solid-state imaging device for a television camera having a photodiode array arranged at a photo-sensing section and a readout horizontal register constructed by a charge transfer device (CTD) such as a BCD, CCD or BBD. An inverter circuit is provided for each of the vertical signal lines. An input of the inverter circuit is connected to a vertical signal line drain of at least one transfer transistor arranged between the vertical signal line and the CTD, and an output of the inverter circuit is connected to a gate of the transfer transistor. Transfer efficiency is improved by the insertion of the inverter circuit and fixed pattern noise is substantially reduced by supplying bias currents.
