A novel solid-state imaging device is provided which has a first color picture
cell array containing picture cells having a photo-electric converting element
for converting incident light to electric signals arranged two-dimensionally, and
a second color picture cell array containing picture cells having a photo-electric
converting element for converting incident light to electric signals arranged two-dimensionally,
placed in juxtaposition, on a substrate. The solid-state imaging device is characterized
in that a common well is provided to be common to the first color picture cell
array and the second color picture cell array. A well-wiring and a well-contact
may be provided as necessary between the first color picture cell array and the
second color picture cell array.
