Abstract
A solid-state image sensing device has a unit pixel containing a photoelectric conversion element for detecting a light to generate photoelectrons and pixel drive circuits for driving the unit pixel. The photoelectric conversion element has a photogate structure, and the pixel drive circuits apply a voltage selected from three voltages to the photogate of the photoelectric conversion element to generate or transfer the photoelectrons. The three voltages include at least a first voltage, a second voltage higher than the first voltage, and a third voltage higher than the first voltage and lower than the second voltage.
