ABSTRACT:
It is an object of the present invention to provide a solid-state image sensing device with a vertical shutter structure allowing the size of the solid-state image sensing device with ease. An electric-charge exhausting unit is provided on the same side of a sensor array comprising a plurality of sensor units arranged to form a straight line as an electric-charge transferring unit wherein the electric-charge exhausting unit comprising an electric-charge exhaust drain having a shape resembling an island and an electric-charge exhausting gate with a bent shape surrounding the electric-charge exhaust drain is provided in such a way that the electric-charge exhausting unit is in contact with a first region of a read gate, and only one electric-charge exhausting unit is provided for each pair of sensor units adjacent to each other.
