Abstract
An imaging device includes: a semiconductor layer including a first region of a first conductivity, a second region of a second conductivity opposite to the first conductivity, and a third region of the second conductivity; a photoelectric converter electrically connected to the first region and converting light into charge; a first transistor including a first source, a first drain, and a first gate above the second region, the first region corresponding to the first source or drain; and a second transistor including a second source, a second drain, and a second gate of the second conductivity above the third region, the first region corresponding to the second source or drain, and the second gate being electrically connected to the first region. The concentration of an impurity of the second conductivity in the third region is higher than that of an impurity of the second conductivity in the second region.
