Abstract
A solid-state imaging device includes vertical transfer units each including first and second transfer units. A drive control unit controls transfer processes of the vertical transfer units so that (i) after transferring a packet, the first transfer unit stops transferring another packet in a period during which the packet is horizontally transferred, (ii) the second transfer unit in the same group transfers the packet to a horizontal transfer unit at a timing different from a timing at which another second transfer unit in the same group transfers a different packet to the horizontal transfer unit, (iii) the horizontal transfer unit horizontally transfers the received packet in a horizontal transfer period different from another horizontal transfer period during which the different packet is horizontally transferred, and (iv) at least one charge transfer stage serving as the well region differs between these horizontal transfer periods.
