ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a solid-state imaging device having a semiconductor integrated circuit in which a plurality of switching elements for selecting positions of picture elements and scanners for turning "on" and "off" the switching elements in time sequence are disposed on an identical substrate, a photoconductive film which is disposed on the integrated circuit and which is connected to one end of each of the switching elements, and a light transmitting electrode which is disposed on the photoconductive film, characterized at least in that a breakdown voltage of a junction formed between the semiconductor substrate and an impurity region which has a conductivity type opposite to that of the semiconductor substrate and which stores therein carriers attendant upon incidence of light is made smaller than a breakdown voltage between the storing first impurity region of said each switching element and a second impurity region thereof which forms a signal leading-out portion.
