Abstract
A disclosed solid state image pick-up element is constructed by a lateral static induction transistor in which source and drain regions thereof are arranged in a surface of a semiconductor layer formed on a substrate and a gate region for storing a light charge completely surrounds at least one of the source region and the drain region, whereby a source-drain current flows in parallel with the surface of the semiconductor layer. Moreover, a disclosed solid state image sensor utilizing the solid state image pick-up element mentioned above further includes a biasing means for inversely biasing the source and drain regions during a light signal storing period.
