Abstract
A solid-state imaging device includes a substrate of P type and a wiring layer. The substrate includes: a first semiconductor region disposed on a first principle surface and extending in a direction from the first principal surface toward the second principal surface; a second semiconductor region disposed between the second principal surface and the first semiconductor region and connected to the first semiconductor region; a P type semiconductor region disposed between the second principal surface and the second semiconductor regions of two pixels; and a pixel isolation region disposed inside the substrate, between the first semiconductor regions of the two pixels. The second semiconductor region and the P type semiconductor region form an avalanche multiplication region.
