Abstract
A solid-state imaging device is provided with a plurality of photoelectric converting portions each having a photosensitive region and an electric potential gradient forming region, and which are juxtaposed so as to be along a direction intersecting with a predetermined direction, a plurality of buffer gate portions each arranged corresponding to a photoelectric converting portion and on the side of the other short side forming a planar shape of the photosensitive region, and accumulates a charge generated in the photosensitive region of the corresponding photoelectric converting portion, and a shift register which acquires charges respectively transferred from the plurality of buffer gate portions, and transfers the charges in the direction intersecting with the predetermined direction, to output the charges. The buffer gate portion has at least two gate electrodes to which predetermined electric potentials are respectively applied so as to increase potential toward the predetermined direction.
