Abstract
An imaging device including: a semiconductor substrate including a pixel region and a peripheral region; an insulating layer that covers the pixel and peripheral regions; first electrodes located on the insulating layer above the pixel region; a photoelectric conversion layer that covers the first electrodes; a second electrode that covers the photoelectric conversion layer; detection circuitry configured to be electrically connected to the first electrodes; peripheral circuitry configured to be electrically connected to the detection circuitry, and including analog circuitry; and a third electrode electrically connected to the second electrode. The third electrode overlaps the analog circuitry in a plan view, and in all cross-sections perpendicular to a surface of the semiconductor substrate, parallel to the column direction or the row direction, intersecting at least one of the first electrodes, and intersecting the third electrode, no transistor of the digital circuitry is located directly below the third electrode.
