A stacked-type detection apparatus includes a plurality of pixels arranged at small intervals in row and column directions and has small signal line capacitance that allows a high-speed driving operation. Each pixel includes a conversion element configured to convert radiation or light into an electric charge and a switch element disposed on an insulating substrate. A driving line is disposed on the insulating substrate and is connected to switch elements arranged in the row direction; and a signal line is connected to switch elements arranged in the column direction. Each conversion element is disposed above a corresponding switch element. The driving line is realized using a conductive layer embedded in an insulating layer located below an uppermost surface portion of the driving line located below an uppermost surface portion of a main electrode of the switch element located below the conversion element.

摘要:
In an image pickup apparatus including a plurality of pixels arranged a matrix of rows and columns, a correction unit performs a correction process based on an electric signal output via a first switch element of a particular pixel and a correction electric signal output via a second switch element of the particular pixel. A correction image signal based on the correction electric signal output via the second switch element is acquired in a period that partially overlaps in time a period in which an image signal based on the electric signal output via the first switch element is acquired. When the electric signal associated with the image signal is output for the particular pixel, the second switch element of the particular pixel is controlled to be in an on-state over a period during which the first switch element of the particular pixel is in an off-state.
