Imaging device
Abstract:
An imaging device including: a semiconductor substrate having a first and second surface opposite to the first surface; a microlens located closer to the first surface than the second surface; a first photoelectric converter located between the first surface and the microlens, where the first photoelectric converter includes a first electrode, a second electrode, and a photoelectric conversion layer that is located between the first electrode and the second electrode and that converts light into electric charges; and a signal detecting section located in the semiconductor substrate, the signal detecting section being configured to output a signal corresponding to the electric charges. The first photoelectric converter is the closest of any photoelectric converter existing between the first surface and the microlens to the first surface, and a focal point of the microlens is located below a lowermost surface of the photoelectric conversion layer and above the signal detecting section.
