Solid state image sensor
 Signal charges are photoelectrically generated by a plurality of photodiodes, transferred through a transfer register to a charge detection capacitance and sensed through a floating junction, as a potential change of the charge detection capacitance to be amplified and output at an output amplifier composed of a plurality of stages of driver transistors, in which a field insulation film of a first stage driver transistor is formed, under a gate electrode, with a trapezoidal region left so that the gate electrode has a width thereof varied to be wider at a source end than at a drain end, permitting an increased reduction of the charge detection capacitance.
