    Abstract: A photoelectric conversion element includes: a plurality of pixels that are formed on a common semiconductor substrate and each of which includes an avalanche photodiode; a first line that is formed on the semiconductor substrate, is electrically connected to two or more first pixels included in the plurality of pixels, and collectively extracts output currents from the two or more first pixels; and a second line that is formed on the semiconductor substrate, is electrically connected to two or more second pixels included in the plurality of pixels, and collectively extracts output currents from the two or more second pixels. A light receiving area of each first pixel is larger than a light receiving area of each second pixel.

    Abstract: Each light detecting unit includes a semiconductor region that outputs a carrier, and a surface electrode. In a photodiode array, a read wire is positioned between neighboring avalanche photodiodes. When a plane including a surface of the semiconductor region is set as a reference plane, a distance tb from the reference plane to the read wire is larger than a distance to from the reference plane to the surface electrode.

    Abstract: A photodiode array 1 has a plurality of photodetector channels 10 which are farmed on an n-type substrate 2 having an n-type semiconductor layer 12, with a light to be detected being incident to the plurality of photodetector channels 10. The photodiode array 1 comprises: a p−-type semiconductor layer 13 formed on the n-type semiconductor layer 12 of the substrate 2; resistors 4 each of which is provided to each of the photodetector channels 10 and is connected to a signal conductor 3 at one end thereof; and an n-type separating part 20 formed between the plurality of photodetector channels 10. The p−-type semiconductor layer 13 fauns a pn junction at the interface between the substrate 2, and comprises a plurality of multiplication regions AM for avalanche multiplication of carriers produced by the incidence of the light to be detected so that each of the multiplication regions corresponds to each of the photodetector channels. The separating part 20 is formed so that each of the multiplication regions AM of the p−-type semiconductor layer 13 corresponds to each of the photodetector channels 10.
