Photoelectric converting device

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To minimize stray capacitance at insulated intersections between discrete output electrodes and common lines, by holding fixed potential of conductor layers provided at the insulated intersections between the discrete output electrodes and the common lines. CONSTITUTION:A conductor layer 116 having a fixed potential is interposed between the lowermost layer and the uppermost layer only around the intersections 120 where discrete electrodes 101-106 of the lowermost layer intersect with common lines 107-110 of the uppermost layer. Thus, it is possible to minimize stray capacitance which would be produced between the discrete electrodes 101-106 and the common lines 107-110 and, therefore, it is possible to prevent cross talk caused between output signals. Further, by decreasing the area of the intersections between the discrete electrodes 101-106 and interconnections for connecting the conductor layers 116 having a fixed potential as well as the area of the intersections between the common lines and the interconnections for connecting the conductor layers 116 having a fixed potential, the stray capacitance between them can be minimized and, therefore, deterioration of transfer efficiency can be prevented.
