ABSTRACT:
An imaging device capable of multiplying carriers and miniaturizing the device is obtained. The imaging device includes a carrier storage portion for storing carriers generated by photoelectric conversion, having a photoelectric conversion function, a multiplier section including a multiplier electrode applying an electric field for multiplying carriers due to impact ionization by an electric field, one first transfer electrode so provided between the carrier storage portion and the multiplier electrode as to be adjacent to the carrier storage portion and the multiplier electrode.
