Abstract
A solid-state image sensing apparatus has a signal storage portion of a second conductivity type provided within a substrate, a surface shield layer of the first conductivity type provided in a surface portion of the substrate which is located above the signal storage portion, a gate electrode provided over the substrate in adjacent relation to at least one end of the signal storage portion, and a drain region of the second conductivity type provided in a surface portion of the substrate which is on the side opposite to the surface shield layer when viewed from the gate electrode. A read control layer of the first conductivity type is further provided in a surface portion of the substrate which is located under the gate electrode in adjacent relation to one end of the surface shield layer.
