To eliminate the influence of radiation noise, which drops the image quality of a photoelectric converter, at a low cost without sacrificing an opening portion of a light receiving element. A photoelectric converter includes: a first semiconductor region of a first conductive type which is formed within a pixel region; a second semiconductor region of a second conductive type which is formed within the first semiconductor region and in which optically generated carriers can be accumulated; and a conductor which is formed through an insulator on the second semiconductor region and held at a predetermined potential.
