Abstract
A photoelectric conversion apparatus includes an element isolating portion that is disposed on a side of a front surface of a semiconductor layer and constituted by an insulator, and a pixel isolating portion. The pixel isolating portion includes a part that overlaps an isolating region in a normal direction. The semiconductor layer is continuous across semiconductor regions in an intermediate plane. The part is located between a semiconductor region and another semiconductor region.
