Abstract
An imaging device including a semiconductor substrate having a pixel region where 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 that is located on the insulating layer above the pixel region; a photoelectric conversion layer that covers the first electrode; and a first layer that covers the photoelectric conversion layer, the first layer being located above the pixel region and the peripheral region. The thickness of the first layer above the peripheral region is larger than a thickness of the first layer above the pixel region, and a level of an uppermost surface of the first layer above the peripheral region is higher than a level of an uppermost surface of the first layer above the pixel region.
