Abstract
A photoelectric conversion apparatus includes a plurality of pixels each including a photoelectric conversion portion, a charge holding portion, a floating diffusion, and first and second transistors disposed in a common active region. The active region includes a partial region which includes a first region extending in a first direction, a second region connected to the first region and extending in a second direction, and a third region connected to the second region and extending in a third direction. In a planar view, the partial region of a first pixel is disposed between a gate of the first transistor of the first pixel and the charge holding portion of a second pixel, and between a gate of the second transistor of the first pixel and the charge holding portion of the second pixel. A light-shielding member is disposed in a region overlapping the partial region.
