    Abstract: The photosensitive region includes a first impurity region and a second impurity region having a higher impurity concentration than that of the first impurity region. The photosensitive region includes one end positioned away from the transfer section in the second direction and another end positioned closer to the transfer section in the second direction. A shape of the second impurity region in plan view is line-symmetric with respect to a center line of the photosensitive region along the second direction. A width of the second impurity region in the first direction increases in a transfer direction from the one end to the other end. An increase rate of the width of the second impurity region in each of sections, obtained by dividing the photosensitive region into n sections in the second direction, becomes gradually higher in the transfer direction. Here, n is an integer of two or more.

    Abstract: A first region includes a plurality of first transfer column regions distributed in a first direction. A second region includes a plurality of second transfer column regions distributed in the first direction. The second region is positioned downstream of the first region in a charge transfer direction in the second transfer section. Lengths in a second direction of the plurality of first transfer column regions are equal. Lengths in the second direction of the plurality of second transfer column regions are longer than the length of the first transfer column region, and increase as the second transfer column region is positioned downstream in the charge transfer direction. A third region is disposed to correspond to the first region and extends along the first direction. A fourth region is disposed to correspond to the second region and extends such that an interval between the fourth region and a pixel region in the second direction increases in the charge transfer direction in response to a change in the lengths of the plurality of second transfer column regions.
