    Abstract: A photoelectric converting device has a photoelectric converting part which consists of a light absorbing layer of a predetermined forbidden band width Eg1 and a carrier multiplying layer, positioned in laminate structure between charge injection blocking layers. The multiplying layer is composed of a layer or plural layers with a stepback structure of the forbidden band width having a minimum width Eg2 and a maximum width Eg3 in alternate manner and showing a continuous variation therebetween in each layer. The charge injection blocking layers, light absorbing layer and carrier multiplying layer are composed of non-monocrystalline semiconductors and at least having the minimum forbidden band width Eg2 and/or the maximum forbidden band width Eg3 contain a microcrystalline structure.

    Abstract: A photoelectric conversion apparatus comprising a plurality of photoelectric conversion cells, each including a semiconductor transistor having a control electrode area which in turn includes a plurality of main electrode areas for reading signals, wherein the potential of the control electrode area is controlled to store carriers produced by optical pumping in the control electrode area, to read, from the main electrode area, a signal controlled by the storage voltage produced due to the storage, and to perform a refreshing operation to nullify the carriers stored in the control electrode area. A device is provided for performing a peak detection on the basis of signals from the main electrode area. At least one of the photoelectric conversion cells is shielded from light. The peak detection device performs the peak detection by detecting the difference between a peak signal obtained on the basis of a signal from the photoelectric conversion cells and a dark signal from the photoelectric conversion cells shielded from light.
