Abstract

A solid state photo-electric converting device consists of a direct conjunction of a photo-electric converting layers formed of satisfactorily selected materials and a solid state amplifier formed, for instance, of an FET, a conductive electrode being inserted therebetween for collecting signal charges induced in those converting layers efficiently, thereby an excellent spectral sensitivity performance and an extremely high conversion efficiency being realizabe. Accordingly, a solid state imaging apparatus employing a matrix of the above converting devices can be provided with an excellent spectral and noiseless performance.
