Imaging device

Abstract

An imaging device includes a photoelectric converter that converts light into signal charge, a charge accumulation region that accumulates the signal charge, a first transistor having a gate connected to the charge accumulation region, and a common gate amplifier circuit that amplifies an output of the first transistor to output to the charge accumulation region. The common gate amplifier circuit includes a second transistor. One of a source and a drain of the second transistor is connected to one of a source and a drain of the first transistor, and the other of the source and the drain of the second transistor is connected to the charge accumulation region.
