Abstract
A solid-state imaging device has a pixel sharing unit, and the pixel sharing unit includes a plurality of pixel units each including a plurality of photodiodes, floating diffusions, and a plurality of read transistors, a reset transistor and an amplification transistor shared by the plurality of pixel units, a plurality of read wirings, a connection wiring that connects the floating diffusions to each other. In the pixel sharing unit, the connection wiring and each of the plurality of read wirings are disposed to have overlapping areas in a plan view, and the connection wiring and the plurality of read wirings are disposed such that parasitic capacitors generated in the plurality of overlapping areas are approximately equal to one another.
