Abstract

　フォトダイオードを含む画素（１０）を二次元アレイ状に配列した画素領域（２ａ）と、各画素で生成された信号を連続撮影のフレーム数分だけ保持する記憶部を配置した記憶領域（３ａ）とを半導体基板上で分離して設ける。全画素は同時に光電荷蓄積を実行し、光電荷の蓄積により生成した信号をそれぞれ独立した画素出力線（１４）を通して並行して出力する。そして、１本の画素出力線に接続された複数の記憶部において、１回の露光毎に異なる記憶部のサンプリングトランジスタを順にオンさせることで各記憶部のキャパシタに信号を順番に保持し、連続撮影終了後に全ての画素信号を逐次読み出す。ＣＣＤのように全ゲート負荷が一斉に駆動されないので消費電力を抑え、高速駆動が可能となる。また、記憶領域が画素領域と分離されているので、過剰な光電荷の流れ込みによる信号の劣化も防止できる。これにより、従来よりも高速の連続撮影を可能としつつ、撮影画像の画質を向上させることができる。
