ABSTRACT:
In a solid-state image pickup device having photoelectric elements each of which includes one or more switching MOS field-effect transistors and which are arrayed in one dimension or two dimensions on one semiconductor substrate, and scanning circuits which address the photoelectric devices time-sequentially, a transparent or semitransparent electrode is disposed over a light detecting region provided for the switching field-effect transistor, with an insulating oxide film intervening therebetween, whereby a capacitance is formed between the electrode and the substrate, charges generated under the electrode by photoexcitation are stored in a charge-storage region including the capacitance for a certain time, and the stored charges are taken out by the scanning circuits to a signal output line connecting the drains of the transistors in common.
