Solid-state imaging device, production method and drive method thereof, and camera

A camera, comprising:

• an optical lens;
• and
• a solid-state imaging device for converting an image obtained through the optical lens to an electric signal,
• said solid-state imaging device comprising:
• a plurality of light receiving portions arranged in a first direction and a second direction perpendicular to the first direction;
• a plurality of transfer channels extending in the second direction, each being arranged between the neighboring light receiving portions;
• a plurality of first transfer electrodes arranged on said transfer channels, the neighboring first transfer electrodes positioned at both sides of the light receiving portion being connected in the first direction;
• a plurality of second transfer electrodes arranged in the same layer of said first transfer electrodes, on said transfer channel;
• and
• low-resistance wirings of which the number corresponds to the number of transfer electrodes, extending over said first transfer electrode in the first direction, and having a lower resistance than those of said first transfer electrodes and said second transfer electrodes, each of said low-resistance wirings being connected to the first transfer electrode and the second transfer electrode on each transfer channel through a connecting portion.
