Abstract
A solid-state imaging device has an imaging region in which unit cells, each of which includes a photoelectric conversion section and a signal scanning circuit section, are disposed on a semiconductor substrate in a two-dimensional manner. The signal scanning circuit section is composed of a plurality of transistors. At least part of a gate contact of each transistor in the signal scanning circuit section is formed on an active region of each transistor.
