Abstract:
An imaging device includes first and second pixels, arranged in a first direction, each of which includes: a photoelectric converter converting incident light into signal charge; an impurity region, in a semiconductor substrate, coupled to the photoelectric converter; a first transistor having a first gate coupled to the impurity region, and first source and drain; and a second transistor having second gate, source and drain. One of the second source and the second drain is the impurity region, and another is coupled to the first source or the first drain. The imaging device further includes a signal line, coupled to the first source or the first drain, and extends along the first direction and overlaps with both of the first and second pixels. The signal line is located on an opposite side from the impurity region across a center line of the first pixel.
