Abstract

This solid-state imaging device has a plurality of pixels formed by circuit elements distributed in a first and a second semiconductor substrates configured in a stacked structure. The solid-state imaging device has the first and the second semiconductor substrates and a plurality of connection electrodes formed between the first semiconductor substrate and the second semiconductor substrate to electrically connect signal lines of a plurality of photoelectric conversion circuits and signal lines of a plurality of signal processing circuits included in the first and second semiconductor substrates respectively. A plurality of pixel sets are defined to have at least one of the plurality of photoelectric conversion circuits, respectively, and the photoelectric conversion circuits included in the plurality of pixel sets adjacent to each other are connected to the corresponding signal processing circuits via the different connection electrodes which are formed at positions not adjacent to each other, respectively.
