Abstract
An apparatus includes pixels each including regions provided in a layer and a microlens. The layer has a first depth, a second depth, and a third depth between the first and second depths in order from a side of a surface facing a surface where the microlens is formed. The layer includes a first portion that separates the regions at the first depth and extends in a first direction, a second portion that separates the regions at the second depth and extends in a second direction, and a third portion that separates the regions at the third depth and extends in a third direction. An angle formed by the first and third portions and less than or equal to 90 degrees is smaller than an angle formed by the first and second portions and less than or equal to 90 degrees.

An apparatus comprising:
- a plurality of pixels each including a plurality of photoelectric conversion regions provided in a layer and a microlens,
- wherein the layer has a first depth, a second depth, and a third depth between the first depth and the second depth in order from a side of a surface of the layer that faces a surface of the layer on which the microlens is formed,
- wherein the layer includes:
- a first separation portion that separates the plurality of photoelectric conversion regions at the first depth and extends in a first direction,
- a second separation portion that separates the plurality of photoelectric conversion regions at the second depth and extends in a second direction, and
- a third separation portion that separates the plurality of photoelectric conversion regions at the third depth and extends in a third direction, and
- wherein an angle that is formed by the first separation portion and the third separation portion is smaller than an angle that is formed by the first separation portion and the second separation portion, wherein each angle is less than or equal to 90 degrees, and
- a fourth separation portion that separates the plurality of photoelectric conversion regions at a fourth depth between the second depth and the third depth and extends in a fourth direction.
