Abstract
A solid state image sensor including a photoelectric transducing diode (PD) formed on an n-type semiconductor substrate (1) and a MOS transistor (TRs). A signal photoelectrically transduced by the diode (PD) is amplified by a pnp-type transistor (TRa) formed on the substrate and between the diode (PD) and the MOS transistor (TRa). The amplified signal is read out by the MOS transistor. The source (41) of the MOS transistor is connected to the emitter (21) of the pnp-type transistor partly by a polysilicon (91).
