Solid state image pickup apparatus and image pickup system with the solid state image pickup apparatus
Abstract
The invention is to reduce a color mixing resulting from influences of adjacent pixels. The invention provides a solid-state image pickup apparatus including plural pixels each including a PN junction area 1 constituting a photoelectric conversion area, a floating diffusion area 2 for holding a charge outputted from the PN junction area 1, an amplifying transistor 5 for amplifying the charge in the floating diffusion area 2, and a wiring 4 for connecting at least the floating diffusion area 2, a gate electrode of the amplifying transistor 5 and a resetting MOS transistor 10, and a signal output, line 8 for outputting signals from the amplifying transistors, the apparatus including shield lines 8, 9 between the wiring 8 of one pixel or the floating diffusion area 2 and the wiring 4 of one pixel and the signal output line 8 of another adjacent pixel.
