Abstract
A solid state image sensor comprising static induction transistors each forming a picture element. Each static induction transistor in the solid state image sensor has a lateral structure in which the source and drain regions are formed by surface regions provided on the same side in an epitaxial layer forming the channel region and a signal charge storage gate region are formed by a buried gate region provided under the channel region and a surface gate region provided on the channel region, so that the source-drain current flows in parallel to the surface of epitaxial layer and is effectively controlled between the buried and surface gate regions.
