Abstract
A light-receiving device has a semiconductor substrate that includes a first pixel region that has a first thickness and a second pixel region that has a second thickness less than the first thickness. It has a plurality of first photoelectric conversion elements formed in the first pixel region and a first electrode where their outputs are supplied thereto. It has a plurality of photoelectric conversion elements formed in the second pixel region and a second electrode where their outputs are supplied thereto. It has a common electrode for the first and second photoelectric conversion elements.
