Abstract:
A solid-state imaging device includes a plurality of pixels, each of the plurality of pixels including a photoelectric converter. The photoelectric converter includes a first semiconductor region of a first conductivity type, a second semiconductor region of a second conductivity type provided under the first semiconductor region, and a third semiconductor region of the first conductivity type provided under the second semiconductor region. The second semiconductor region has a first end portion and a second end portion opposing to the first end portion. The third semiconductor region has a first region and a second region overlapping with the second semiconductor region in a plan view, and the first region and the second region are spaced apart from each other from a part of the first end portion to a part of the second end portion.
