    摘要: A photoelectric conversion apparatus includes a semiconductor substrate having one principle surface including recessed portions, and insulation bodies in the recessed portions. The semiconductor substrate includes photoelectric conversion elements each of which includes a first semiconductor region of a first conductivity type, a second semiconductor region of a second conductivity type, and a third semiconductor region of the second conductivity type which has at least a portion disposed nearer to the principle surface relative to the second semiconductor region. The second semiconductor region has a polarity of signal charge. The second semiconductor region is in contact with the first and third semiconductor regions. Signal charge paths are disposed between the recessed portions in a cross section perpendicular to the principle surface. At least one of the second and third semiconductor regions is positioned in directions of at least two of the signal charge paths.

    摘要: An image capturing apparatus performs a global electronic shutter operation in which a plurality of pixels are exposed during the same exposure period. In a first period, charge is accumulated by a photoelectric conversion unit. In a second period, accumulation units of a plurality of pixels accumulate charge. A ratio of saturation charge quantity of the photoelectric conversion unit to saturation charge quantity of the accumulation unit has a certain relationship with a ratio of a length of the first period to the sum of the length of the first period and the length of the second period.
