Abstract
In a pixel, a floating semiconductor region FD accumulates a charge from a photoelectric transducer PD. A first charge transfer path CTPextends from the photoelectric transducer PD to the floating semiconductor region FD through the storage diode SD. A second charge transfer path CTPextends from the photoelectric transducer PD to the floating semiconductor region. An output unit AMP provides a signal corresponding to a potential in the floating semiconductor region FD. The first charge transfer path CTP includes a first shutter switch TR(GS) for controlling a transfer of the charge from the photoelectric transducer PD, the storage diode SD for accumulating the charge from the photoelectric transducer PD, and a transfer switch TR(TF) for controlling a transfer of the charge from the storage diode SD to the floating semiconductor region PD, while the second charge transfer path CTP includes a shutter switch TR(GS) for controlling a transfer of the charge from the photoelectric transducer PD.
