Abstract
A photoelectric conversion apparatus includes a first semiconductor layer having a photoelectric conversion element, a second semiconductor layer including circuitry for processing a signal based on a charge obtained by the photoelectric conversion element, a first wiring structure electrically connected to the first semiconductor layer, a second wiring structure electrically connected to the second semiconductor layer, and a coupling part that couples the first wiring structure to the second wiring structure. In a plan view, the apparatus includes a pixel region having the photoelectric conversion element, and a peripheral region located between the pixel region and an outer edge of the photoelectric conversion apparatus. The first wiring structure includes, in the peripheral region, a first conductive part having a mesh-shaped part. The first conductive part is connected to a pad facing outside the photoelectric conversion apparatus.
