Abstract
An apparatus includes a plurality of pixels arranged in a substrate including a first surface provided with a transistor and a second surface opposed to the first surface, and a light shielding portion. The plurality of pixels includes first pixels shielded from light, and second pixels. Each of the plurality of pixels includes a first area of a first conductive type. Each of the first pixels includes a second area. Each of the second pixels includes a third area between the second surface and the first area, and includes a fourth area of a second conductive type between the first area and the first surface. In a cross-section along a first line, an impurity concentration of the first conductive type in the second area is higher than an impurity concentration of the first conductive type in the third area.
