    Abstract: A solid-state image sensor comprises photoelectric converting devices (22) formed on a p type semiconductor substrate (1), transfer gates (26) for reading signal charges therefrom, scanning lines (21) for selecting the transfer gates (26), and transfer electrodes (11) of the first layer and transfer electrodes (12) of the second layer alternately disposed for transferring in the vertical direction the read signal charges. All the electrodes of the transfer gates (26) are formed integrally with the transfer electrodes (12) of the second layer, with the result that all the electrodes of the transfer gates (26) are common to the transfer electrodes of the same layer (the second layer). Although the potential wall (340) is formed in the transfer channel (3) beneath the transfer electrode (12) connected to the transfer gate (26), the same is insulated from adjacent the transfer electrode (11) on the charge transfer direction side. As a result, when a voltage is applied to the transfer electrode adjacent thereto, the signal charges are fully transferred.

    Abstract: Semiconductor layers are selectively epitaxially grown in portions having an insulating film removed which is formed on a substrate by selective epitaxial growth under reduced pressure. With respect to a circumferential region outwardly of the removed portions in which the semiconductor elements are to be provided, there are formed one or more removed portions (dummy portions) in which no semiconductor element is provided, thereby making arrangement of the removed portions as even as possible with respect to the entire surface of the insulating film, to overcome position dependency in flatness of the semiconductor layers to be obtained. The semiconductor layers grown in the dummy portions may be left not to have semiconductor elements formed therein.

    Abstract: A solid-state image sensor comprises an n-type silicon substrate (11), a p-type silicon layer (12) formed on the substrate (11), a plurality of nMOS transistors (1), a field insulating film (13) for separating the nMOS transistors (1) and a buried insulating film (20) provided between the substrate (11) and the field insulating film (13). The buried insulating film (20) serve to prevent electrons from flowing between the adjacent nMOS transistors (1). Accordingly, occurrence of a color mixture phenomenon, a blooming phenomenon or a smear phenomenon can be suppressed. In addition, when a p-type junction layer (21) is provided on the substrate (11) and a bias power supply (19) is connected between them, and when the voltage is adjusted, the red color sensitivity of a photodiode consisting of an n-type source region (16) in each nMOS transistor (1) can be uniformly and easily adjusted.
