Abstract:
By feeding an appropriate voltage as a signal φTX to a transfer gate TG, a MOS transistor T1 is operated in a threshold region. A potential linearly or natural logarithmically converted by a buried photodiode PD is transferred to an N-type floating diffusion layer FD so as to be fed out, as an image signal, via MOS transistors T3 and T4.
