Abstract

A solid state imaging device comprises a transparent electrode, a photoconductive layer, and a plurality of scanning circuits for consecutively selecting signals in the photoconductive layer. The photoconductive layer is formed of amorphous semiconductor comprising amorphous silicon as the major component and further containing an element serving to lower the capture level within the energy gap and a trace amount of chalcogen element as a chemical modifier.
