    Abstract: An imaging device includes a first pixel. The first pixel includes a first photoelectric conversion region, and first and second transistors coupled to the first photoelectric conversion region to transfer charge generated by the first photoelectric conversion region. The imaging device includes a first driving circuit and a second driving circuit to drive the first pixel in a first mode and a second mode, the first mode being a mode in which the first driving circuit applies a first set of transfer signals to the first and second transfer transistors, the second mode being a mode in which the second driving circuit applies a transfer signal to only one of the first and second transfer transistors.

    Abstract: An imaging device includes a first pixel including a first photoelectric conversion region disposed in a first substrate and that converts incident light into first electric charges, and a first readout circuit including a first converter that converts the first electric charges into a first logarithmic voltage signal. The first converter includes a first transistor coupled to the first photoelectric conversion region and a second transistor coupled to the first transistor. The imaging device includes a wiring layer on the first substrate and includes a first level of wirings arranged in a first arrangement overlapping the first photoelectric conversion region and in a second arrangement overlapping the first and second transistors, the second arrangement being different than the first arrangement.

    Abstract: An imaging device includes a first pixel. The first pixel includes a first photoelectric conversion region disposed in a first substrate and that converts incident light into first electric charges. The first pixel includes a first readout circuit including a first converter that converts the first electric charges into a first logarithmic voltage signal. The imaging device includes at least one bonding pad on the first substrate and in electrical contact with the first converter. The at least one bonding pad overlaps at least part of the first pixel.
