Abstract
A detection apparatus includes: a substrate; photodiodes each including a p-type semiconductor layer, an i-type semiconductor layer, and an n-type semiconductor layer; transistors provided for the respective photodiodes; an insulating film provided so as to cover the transistors; a first inorganic insulating film provided so as to cover the photodiodes; a first organic insulating film provided on the upper side of the first inorganic insulating film; and an upper conductive layer provided on the upper side of the first organic insulating film and electrically coupled to the photodiode. Each photodiode includes: first regions in each of which the p-type semiconductor layer, the i-type semiconductor layer, and the n-type semiconductor layer are directly in contact with one another; and a second region in which the p-type semiconductor layer and the i-type semiconductor layer are separate from each other. The adjacent first regions are coupled together by the p-type semiconductor layer.
