In a solid-state image sensing apparatus, each pixel includes a photodiode, a
MOS amplifier whose gate receives photo-charge generated by the photodiode, and
a MOS switch for controlling connection between the photodiode and the gate of
the MOS amplifier, and transference of the photo-charge from the photodiode to
the gate of the MOS amplifier is performed under a condition that a channel is
formed under the gate of the MOS amplifier.
