Abstract
An imaging device includes: a semiconductor substrate including a pixel region in which pixels are arranged and a peripheral region adjacent to the pixel region; an insulating layer that covers the pixel region and the peripheral region; a first electrode located on the insulating layer above the pixel region; a photoelectric conversion layer that covers the first electrode; a second electrode that covers the photoelectric conversion layer; detection circuitry located in the pixel region and connected to the first electrode; peripheral circuitry located in the peripheral region and connected to the detection circuitry; and a third electrode located on the insulating layer above the peripheral region. The second electrode extends above the peripheral region, and the second electrode includes a connection region in which the second electrode is connected to the third electrode, the connection region overlapping the peripheral circuitry in plan view.
