Abstract
An imaging device including a semiconductor substrate; pixels; and a signal line located along the pixels, where each of the pixels includes: a photoelectric converter that generates signal charge by photoelectric conversion, a first transistor that outputs a signal to the signal line according to an amount of the signal charge, and a circuit that is coupled to a gate of the first transistor and that includes a capacitive element, and the signal line is located closer to the semiconductor substrate than the capacitive element.
