ABSTRACT:
A solid-state imaging device is provided which has preferable linearity of signal outputs according to light intensities and does not cause dark defects even at a low light intensity. The solid-state imaging device comprises: a ring gate having a non-uniform width; a source region formed inside the ring gate; a drain region formed surrounding a circumference of the ring gate; and a carrier pocket formed under the ring gate, wherein a region where (X divided by Y) is the smallest substantially coincides with a region where Z is the shortest; X is a pocket-to-source distance; Y is a pocket-to-drain distance; and Z is a source-to-drain distance.
