Abstract
A solid-state imaging device includes a pixel region and a driving circuit region which are disposed on a semiconductor substrate, the pixel region being configured such that a photoelectric conversion unit and a signal scanning circuit unit are included and a matrix of unit pixels is disposed, and the driving circuit region being configured such that a driving circuit for driving the signal scanning circuit unit is disposed, a first pad which is provided on a peripheral region on the semiconductor substrate on a side of a light receiving surface, the light receiving surface being formed on a substrate surface which is opposite to a substrate surface where the signal scanning circuit unit is formed, and a second pad which is provided on a side where the signal scanning circuit unit is formed, and which is disposed only at a position overlapping the pixel region.
