Abstract
An imaging apparatus according to the present invention includes a substrate including a plurality of pixel circuits arranged thereon and a semiconductor layer disposed on the substrate. Each of the plurality of pixel circuits includes an amplification transistor configured to output a signal based on charge generated in the semiconductor layer. The charge generated in the semiconductor layer is transferred in a first direction parallel to a surface of the substrate.
