ABSTRACT:
A plurality of pixel sets, each having 16 pixels are vertically provided successively one after another. A vertical transfer path2has two groups a and b of transfer electrodes1a, 1bto16a, 16b. Two like sequence transfer electrodes in the two electrode groups are provided for each of the pixels in each set. Each pixel is connected via a shift gate3to each transfer channel corresponding to each of the transfer electrodes in the electrode group a. To the transfer electrodes in the electrode group a, independent shift/transfer pulse application lead lines4A are connected for applying independent gate pulses to the individual shift gates in addition to transfer pulses. Common lead lines are connected to the transfer electrodes2aand4a, 5aand7a, 10a, 12a, and13aand15a. Transfer pulse application lead lines4B are connected to the transfer electrodes in the electrode group b. Thus, a CCD imaging device is constructed, which is capable of performing a desired read-out operation by 4-phase driving. A solid-state imaging device capable of reducing the numbers of lead lines for shift gate control gate electrodes for charge read-out to a vertical transfer path and external circuit connection terminals and capable of a special read-out, such as a multiple rate read-out is realized.
