Abstract
A solid state image sensor includes a plurality of charge storage elements arranged in a matrix form on a semiconductor substrate, vertical CCDs arranged in a plurality of columns along the arrangement of the charge storage elements on the semiconductor substrate, for reading out signal charges stored in the charge storage elements, and a plurality of horizontal CCDs arranged in parallel on the substrate and extending in a direction perpendicular to the vertical CCDs, for individually transferring signal charges of each row supplied from the vertical CCDs in a horizontal direction. A channel through which the signal charge passes at the time of transfer of the signal charge between the horizontal CCDs is made wider on the signal charge output port side than on the signal charge input port side.
