Abstract
A photoelectric conversion element includes: a first compound semiconductor layermade of a first compound semiconductor material having a first conductivity type; a photoelectric conversion layerformed on the first compound semiconductor layer; a second compound semiconductor layercovering the photoelectric conversion layerand made of a second compound semiconductor material having the first conductivity type; a second conductivity type regionformed at least in a part of the second compound semiconductor layer, having a second conductivity type different from the first conductivity type, and reaching the photoelectric conversion layer; an element isolation layersurrounding a lateral surface of the photoelectric conversion layer; a first electrodeformed on the second conductivity type region; and a second electrodeelectrically connected to the first compound semiconductor layer
