A solid-state imaging device comprises a semi-conductor substrate
demarcating a two-dimensional surface, a multiplicity of photoelectric
conversion units formed at grid points of a first grid of a first
tetragonal matrix and a second tetragonal matrix having grid points
between grid points of the first tetragonal matrix, a vertical transfer
channel arranged in a vertical direction by weaving a space between the
horizontally adjacent photoelectric conversion units, a plurality of
single-layered electrodes formed above the vertical transfer channel and
arranged in a horizontal direction by weaving a space between the
vertically adjacent photoelectric conversion units, and a signal
processor having a gate electrode and formed, in correspondence to the
vertical transfer channel, at one end of the vertical transfer channel on
the semiconductor substrate. A low power consuming solid-state imaging
device can be provided.
