ABSTRACT:
A solid-state imaging device is provided. The imaging device includes an imaging portion which includes light receiving portions and vertical transfer registers, a horizontal transfer portion, an output part for outputting an electrical signal converted from electric charges transferred from the horizontal transfer portion, a first reference potential applying means, and a second reference potential applying means. The imaging portion, the horizontal transfer portion and the output part are formed in a first conductivity type semiconductor substrate having a second conductivity type region, and a reference potential is applied to the second conductivity type semiconductor region. The first reference potential applying means applies a reference potential to the second conductivity type semiconductor region corresponding to an area where the output part is formed. The second reference potential applying means applies a reference potential to the second conductivity type semiconductor region corresponding to an area where the imaging portion is formed.
