Abstract
A solid-state imaging apparatus includes a photoelectric conversion section generating a charge by photoelectric conversion; and a charge transfer section having first and second transfer electrodes arranged in parallel with each other in an output direction of a charge generated by the photoelectric conversion section and repeatedly transferring the charge between a semiconductor region underneath the first transfer electrode and a semiconductor region underneath the second transfer electrode obliquely to an array direction of the first and second transfer electrodes to output the charge.
