ABSTRACT:
A solid state area imaging apparatus has a single crystalline high resistivity region formed by epitaxial growth on the surface of a semiconductor substrate, whereon opto-electro functionless parts of picture elements to accumulate (or store) signal charges, a switch means for selecting the picture elements and a signal readout means are formed. Three-dimensional opto-electro function parts are constituted by using the above-mentioned high resistivity region being connected to the picture elements.
The opto-electro function parts have a potential barrier against majority carriers of the picture element part in the high resistivity region at the vicinity of the picture element part. Opto-electronic conversions utilizing this potential barrier is performed by means of depletion mode operation of majority carriers in the picture element part.
