Abstract
A solid-state image capturing apparatus includes a pixel array in which a plurality of pixels are arranged in a matrix, where each of the pixels includes: a photodiode for obtaining a signal charge by a photoelectric conversion of an incident light; and an amplifying transistor for the signal charge obtained at the photodiode, and where the amplifying transistor is configured in such a manner that a gate area of the amplifying transistor is defined to be larger than a gate area of other transistors that configure the pixel.
