Abstract

Advanced processing is performed in a chip. A stacked light-receiving sensor according to an embodiment includes a first substrate (), a second substrate () bonded to the first substrate, and connection wiring () bonded to the second substrate. The first substrate includes a pixel array () in which a plurality of unit pixels are arranged in a two-dimensional matrix. The second substrate includes a converter (A) configured to convert an analog pixel signal output from the pixel array to digital image data and a processing unit () configured to perform a process for data based on the image data. At least a part of the converter is disposed on a first side in the second substrate. The processing unit is disposed on a second side opposite to the first side in the second substrate. The connection wiring is attached to a side other than the second side in the second substrate.
