Abstract

Provided is a technology capable of acquiring a saturation charge amount and improving low-light characteristics while suppressing an enlargement of a device and deterioration in pixel density. A solid-state imaging device according to an embodiment includes: a first substrate () including a plurality of photoelectric converters (PD) arranged in a matrix; a second substrate () that is bonded to a first surface of the first substrate and includes a pixel circuit () that generates a pixel signal based on a charge generated in each of the photoelectric converters; and a third substrate () bonded to a third surface of the second substrate opposite to a second surface to which the first substrate is bonded, the third substrate including a peripheral circuit that executes predetermined processing on the pixel signal generated by the pixel circuit, in which the pixel circuit includes: a charge accumulation unit (FD) that accumulates a charge generated in the photoelectric converter; an amplification transistor (AMP) that generates the pixel signal having a voltage value corresponding to a charge amount regarding the charge accumulated in the charge accumulation unit; and a switching transistor (FDG) that switches capacitance of the charge accumulation unit.
