Abstract
An amplification-type solid state imaging device includes a plurality of photoelectric conversion devices each adapted to receive incident light to produce a signal charge and a plurality of signal reading devices to read a signal charge produced from one of the photoelectric conversion devices. The photoelectric conversion device includes a photodiode and the signal reading device includes an amplifying transistor for amplifying the signal charge so that the signal charge generated by the photodiode is transferred to the amplifying transistor by one of a plurality of transfer devices.
