Amplifying type solid-state imaging device and amplifying type solid-state imaging apparatus

An amplifying type solid-state imaging device for storing a signal charge, the device comprising:

• a transistor including a first gate region, including a portion in the vicinity of a semiconductor base surface where the signal charge is stored, and a first gate electrode formed on the semiconductor base surface, and a source and a drain which are formed of impurity layers of a higher concentration than the semiconductor base concentration on the semiconductor base surface;
• and
• a charge release portion, including a second gate region including the portion in the vicinity of the semiconductor base surface, a part of which is adjacent to the first gate region, and a second gate electrode formed via an insulating film on the semiconductor base surface, and a part of which is adjacent to the first gate electrode, and a drain for charge discharge formed of an impurity layer of a higher concentration than the semiconductor base concentration in a portion having a predetermined distance along the direction of the semiconductor base surface from a portion adjacent to the first gate electrode and the second gate electrode on the semiconductor base surface;
• wherein the stored signal charge is released to the drain for charge discharge of the charge release portion.
