Abstract: A solid-state imaging device is provided. The solid-state imaging device includes an imaging region having a plurality of pixels arranged in a two-dimensional array, in which the imaging region includes an effective pixel and a black reference pixel; and a shape of a floating diffusion portion in the effective pixel is different from that of a floating diffusion portion in the black reference pixel.

Abstract: A MOS type solid state imaging device in which unit pixels, each having a photodiode, a transfer transistor for transferring the signal of the photodiode to a floating node, an amplifier transistor for outputting the signal of the floating node to a vertical signal line, and a reset transistor for resetting the floating node are arrayed in a matrix. A gate voltage of the reset transistor is controlled by three values of a power source potential (for example 3V), a ground potential (0V), and a negative power source potential (for example ?1V).
