| 20110024606 | SOLID-STATE IMAGING DEVICE - A solid-state imaging device of an embodiment includes an imaging region, an output register, a corner register, a multiplication register, a first amplifier, a second amplifier, and a valve gate electrode. The output register is a transfer register that receives a charge transferred from the imaging region to transfer the charge. The output register is capable of selectively transferring a charge in one direction and in the other direction opposite to the one direction. The corner register transfers a charge transferred in one direction from the output register. The multiplication register receives a charge from the corner register and generates and transfers a multiplied charge. The first amplifier generates a signal based on a multiplied charge from the multiplication register. The second amplifier generates a signal based on a charge transferred in the other direction by the output register. The valve gate electrode is an electrode for preventing a transfer of a charge between the output register and the corner register. | 02-03-2011 |

| 20110031377 | SOLID-STATE IMAGING DEVICE - A multi-port solid-state imaging device of one embodiment includes an imaging region and a plurality of units. The imaging region contains a plurality of pixel columns. The units are arrayed in a direction in which the pixel columns are arrayed, and generate signals based on charges from the imaging region. Each unit has an output register, a multiplication register, and an amplifier. The output register transfers a charge from one or more corresponding pixel columns. The multiplication register receives the charge from the output register to generate a multiplied charge. The amplifier generates a signal based on the multiplied charge from the multiplication register. The solid-state imaging device contains a region where the units are provided, and a first dummy region and a second dummy region located on both sides in the above-mentioned direction of the region. In each of the first dummy region and the second dummy region, a multiplication register and an amplifier are provided. | 02-10-2011 |
