Abstract
Disclosed is a semiconductor device, such as a solid-state imager or a delay line, having its body and a peripheral circuit formed on the same chip, in which the peripheral circuit is divided into segments and dispersedly arranged around the body of the device. Such an arrangement reduces influence of dark current on the signal, which has been an outstanding problem encountered in such a semiconductor device.
