ABSTRACT:
A photoelectric conversion device has a plurality of photoelectric conversion cells, each cell having a semiconductor transistor comprising two main electrode regions made of one conductivity type semiconductor and a control electrode region made of opposite conductivity type semiconductor, and a capacitor for controlling a potential of the control electrode region in a floating state, the potential at the control electrode region in a floating state being controlled by means of the capacitor so that carriers generated by light are stored in the control electrode region and the output of each cell is controlled in accordance with the storage voltage generated by the storage. In such a photoelectric conversion device, a plurality of points on the control electrode region constituting a light reception region for the photoelectric conversion cell or on the main electrode region, are short-circuited by interconnections.
