Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to a solid-state imaging device and an imaging system, and particularly to a photoelectric conversion pixel unit formed by arranging a plurality of pixels provided with at least a photoelectric conversion unit and a transistor for amplifying and outputting a signal from the photoelectric conversion unit A zoom-type solid-state imaging device and a camera. Background technique
[0002] Conventionally, as a solid-state imaging device, a large number of CCDs having an excellent SN ratio have been used. However, on the other hand, the development of an amplifying solid-state imaging device, which is characterized by ease of use and low power consumption, is also in progress. An amplifying solid-state imaging device is a device that guides the signal charge stored in the light-receiving pixel to the control electrode of the transistor provided in the pixel portion, and outputs the amplified signal from the main electrode.
