Abstract
An imaging apparatus includes a pixel region including a first substrate section and pixels, and a peripheral region including a second substrate section and no pixels. Each of the pixels includes a first electrode; a second electrode; a photoelectric conversion layer that is disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode; and a charge accumulation region disposed in the first substrate section. The pixel region includes first penetrating electrodes that electrically connect the first electrode to the charge accumulation region. The peripheral region includes second penetrating electrodes. An areal density of the first penetrating electrodes that is a ratio of an area of the first penetrating electrodes to an area of the pixel region is different from an areal density of the second penetrating electrodes that is a ratio of an area of the second penetrating electrodes to an area of the peripheral region.
