A light detection device 1 has a semiconductor light detection element having a semiconductor substrate, and a mounting substrate arranged as opposed to the semiconductor light detection element. The semiconductor light detection element includes a plurality of avalanche photodiodes operating in Geiger mode and formed in the semiconductor substrate, and electrodes electrically connected to the respective avalanche photodiodes and arranged on a second principal surface side of the semiconductor substrate. The mounting substrate includes a plurality of electrodes arranged corresponding to the respective electrodes on a third principal surface side, and quenching resistors electrically connected to the respective electrodes and arranged on the third principal surface side. The electrodes and the electrodes are connected through bump electrodes.
