Abstract
A photoelectric conversion apparatus includes a first semiconductor region of a first conductivity type at a first depth from a first surface, a second semiconductor region of a second conductivity type disposed at a second depth deeper than the first depth from the first surface so as to be in contact with the first semiconductor region, and a third semiconductor region of the second conductivity type extending from the first surface to a third depth shallower than the second depth and being in contact with the first semiconductor region and the second semiconductor region. The third semiconductor region has a higher impurity concentration than the second semiconductor region. A second electric potential lower than the first electric potential for a carrier of the first conductivity type is applied to the third semiconductor region. The second semiconductor region has an impurity concentration of 1×10[atom/cm] or less.
