Solid-state image sensor, distance measurement apparatus including the solid-state image sensor, and camera

Abstract

A solid-state image sensor including a plurality of pixels each including a photoelectric conversion element formed on a semiconductor. The solid-state image sensor includes a distance measurement pixel including a plurality of photoelectric conversion elements configured to acquire signals for distance measurement and included in at least a part of the plurality of pixels, and a control electrode disposed on the semiconductor via an insulating film, wherein the control electrode is configured to control positions or shapes of the photoelectric conversion elements by applied voltages, while the distance measurement pixel maintains the number of the plurality of photoelectric conversion elements.
