摘要： Photosensitive cells each includes a photodiode (1), a transfer gate (2), a floating diffusion layer portion (3), an amplifying transistor (4), and a reset transistor (5). Drains of the amplifying transistors (4) of the photosensitive cells are connected to a power supply line (10), and a pulsed power supply voltage (VddC) is applied to the power supply line (10). Here, a low-level potential (VddC_L) of the power supply voltage has a predetermined potential higher than zero potential. Specifically, by making the low-level potential (VddC_L) higher than channel potentials obtained when a low level is applied to the reset transistors (5), or channel potentials obtained when a low level is applied to the transfer gates (2), or channel potentials of the photodiodes (1), a reproduced image with low noise is read.

摘要： During an exposure time period (long accumulation time period) of a low shutter speed shooting mode, a second reference voltage Vss2, which is different from a first reference voltage Vss1 (a ground voltage) corresponding to a reference voltage of a peripheral circuit, is applied to a well (5) where a photoelectric converter section (2) and a drain region (4) are formed, whereby generation of dark electrons at a portion of a surface of the well (5) below a gate electrode (6) is suppressed. A polarity of the second reference voltage Vss2 is positive in the case where a conductivity type of the well (5) is a P-type, and is negative in the case of an N-type.

摘要： A solid-state image pickup device consists of a plurality of pixels arranged in a matrix for outputting an image signal corresponding to the received light intensity. The solid-state image pickup device includes: reset switches (13,23) for opening/closing between a VDDCELL that repeatedly and cyclically outputs a high potential and a low potential and an electric charge holding section in each pixel; reset signal lines (97,98) connected to pixels of the same row; a row scan circuit (80) for successively selecting rows, always giving Hi impedance or Lo impedance to the reset signal of the selected row and Hi impedance to the reset signal lines of the non-selected row; and an ALLRS circuit 94 for giving the Lo potential to the reset line of the non-selected row before and after the rise of VDCELL from a low potential to high potential. Thus, the solid-state image pickup device can reduce its size and increase its operation speed while suppressing lowering of the dynamic range.
