    Abstract: An imaging device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a pixel; a first transistor; first separation sections; and a second separation section. In the pixel, a plurality of photoelectric conversion regions is formed side by side in a plane of a semiconductor substrate. The first transistor is provided above each of the plurality of photoelectric conversion regions. The first transistor extracts electric charge generated in each of the plurality of photoelectric conversion regions. The first separation sections are continuously provided around the plurality of photoelectric conversion regions. The second separation section is provided adjacent to the first separation sections between the plurality of adjacent photoelectric conversion regions. The second separation section has a predetermined electric potential indirectly applied thereto by individually applying electric potentials to a layer below the first transistor and the first separation sections.
