Abstract: A phototransistor includes a first-conduction-type lower region, a second-conduction-type upper region disposed on the first region, a second-conduction-type electrode contact region of a high concentration disposed at a surface inside of the upper region and is connected to an electrode so as to transmit a signal, a first-conduction-type first shield region of a high concentration disposed at the surface of the upper region and spaced at an interval from the electrode contact region and connected to a ground potential, and a first-conduction-type second shield region of a low concentration disposed between the electrode contact region and the first shield region at the surface of the upper region so as to surround the electrode contact region, and further, is connected to the ground potential.

Abstract: A photoelectric conversion device includes a photoelectric conversion layer that is stacked on a semiconductor substrate and that has first, second, and third photoelectric conversion regions, and first, second, and third dividing regions. The first dividing region is formed at a predetermined depth from a surface of the photoelectric conversion layer in the first photoelectric conversion region, and divides the first photoelectric conversion region into a first surface side region closer to the surface thereof and a first substrate side region closer to the semiconductor substrate. The first dividing region has a through hole. The second dividing region is formed at substantially the same depth as the first dividing region or at a shallower depth than the first dividing region in the second photoelectric conversion region. The third dividing region is formed at a shallower depth than the second dividing region in the third photoelectric conversion region.
