An imaging device includes a unit pixel cell including: a semiconductor substrate including a first region exposed to a surface of the semiconductor substrate in a first area, and a second region directly adjacent to the first region and exposed to the surface in a second area; a photoelectric converter; a contact plug connected to the second region; a first transistor including the second region as one of a source and a drain, a first electrode covering a first portion of the first area, and a first insulation layer between the first electrode and the semiconductor substrate; a second electrode covering a second portion of the first area; and a second insulation layer between the second electrode and the semiconductor substrate. When seen in a direction perpendicular to the surface, a contact between the second region and the contact plug is located between the first electrode and the second electrode.
