Abstract
An imaging device includes a semiconductor substrate, a first pixel, and second pixels adjacent to the first pixel. Each of the first pixel and the second pixels includes a first photoelectric conversion layer, a first pixel electrode, a first plug that electrically connects the semiconductor substrate and the first pixel electrode, a second photoelectric conversion layer, a second pixel electrode, and a second plug that electrically connects the semiconductor substrate and the second pixel electrode. When the imaging device is viewed in a normal direction of the semiconductor substrate, a smallest distance of distances between the first plug in the first pixel and the first plugs in the respective second pixels is smaller than a smallest distance of distances between the first plug in the first pixel and the second plugs in the first pixel and the respective second pixels.
