Abstract
The present technology relates to a solid-state image sensor, a solid-state imaging device, and a camera device capable of making white flaws unnoticeable even with a reduced cell size. The solid-state image sensor includes: a register unit formed as an n-type impurity region extending in a first direction; a reading unit configured to read charge from the photoelectric conversion unit into the register unit and formed as a p-type impurity region extending in the same direction as the register unit; a horizontal element isolation unit configured to prevent leakage of charge from the photoelectric conversion unit and formed as a p-type impurity region extending in the same direction as the register unit; and multiple transfer electrodes configured to apply voltage for changing potential distribution of the register unit, wherein a total amount of n-type impurity forming the register unit below a low-level electrode having a standby voltage of a predetermined low value among the transfer electrodes is smaller than a total amount of n-type impurity forming the register unit below a middle-level electrode having a standby voltage higher than the predetermined low value.
