Abstract:
An imaging device, including: a semiconductor substrate; a first pixel including a first photoelectric converter that converts incident light into first charges, a first charge detection circuit on the semiconductor substrate, the first charge detection circuit electrically connected to the first photoelectric converter and detecting the first charges, and a first capacitive element electrically connected to the first photoelectric converter, the first capacitive element storing at least a part of the first charges; and a second pixel comprising a second photoelectric converter that converts incident light into second charges, and a second charge detection circuit on the semiconductor substrate, the second charge detection circuit electrically connected to the second photoelectric converter and detecting the second charges, wherein the first capacitive element is at least partially located between the first photoelectric converter and the second photoelectric converter when viewed from a normal direction of the semiconductor substrate.
