Abstract
An imaging device includes a light-sensing pixel region; a first pixel region; a second pixel region; a first wiring layer disposed above the light-sensing pixel region; and a second wiring layer disposed above the topmost wiring layer of the wiring layer disposed above the light-sensing pixel region, above the second pixel region. The first pixel region is disposed between the light-sensing pixel region and the second pixel region, adjacent to the light-sensing pixel region and the second pixel region, wherein the first pixel region overlaps, in plan view, a first shielding portion included in the first wiring layer. The second pixel region overlaps, in plan view, a second shielding portion included in the second wiring layer. An electroconductive pattern is formed at the first wiring layer at a position overlapping the second pixel region in plan view.
