Imaging device

An imaging device comprising:

• a substrate;
• a pixel array in which a plurality of pixels are arranged in a two-dimensional manner on the substrate, wherein each of the pixels includes a photoelectric conversion unit configured to accumulate charges generated from an incident light, a charge holding unit configured to hold the charges transferred from the photoelectric conversion unit, and an amplification unit having an input node that receives the charges transferred from the charge holding unit;
• and
• a light-shielding portion arranged to cover at least the charge holding unit,
• wherein the photoelectric conversion unit and the charge holding unit included in one of the pixels are aligned in a first direction in a top view from a direction orthogonal to the substrate,
• wherein a plurality of the charge holding units of the plurality of the pixels that are adjacent to each other are aligned in a second direction intersecting the first direction in the top view, and
• wherein the light-shielding portion extends in the second direction and over the plurality of the charge holding units, and covers a region between the plurality of the charge holding units,
• wherein each of the pixels further includes a plurality of contacts that connect electrodes provided to the substrate and a wiring layer formed above the substrate,
• wherein the plurality of contacts are formed in a region between the plurality of the charge holding units aligned in the first direction in the top view, and
• wherein the light-shielding portion includes a part extending in the first direction and provided between the photoelectric conversion unit and the plurality of contacts.
