ABSTRACT:
An active type photoelectric converting device includes: a transistor formed in a surface region of a semiconductor body, the transistor accumulating signal charges generated by light incident on the transistor at the surface region of the semiconductor body in the transistor, and outputting variation of an electric signal in response to variation of the accumulated signal charges; and a first gate region including a portion of the semiconductor body, a first insulating film formed on the portion of the semiconductor body, and a first gate electrode formed the first insulating film; the gate region, provided adjacent to the transistor, for transferring the accumulated signal charges from the surface region of the semiconductor body into an inside of the semiconductor body in response to a voltage applied to the first gate electrode.
