A photoelectric conversion device including pixels arranged in a semiconductor layer including first and second main surfaces is provided. Each of the pixels includes a first photodiode including a first region of a first conductivity type where signal charges are accumulated, a second photodiode arranged between the first region and the second main surface so as to at least partially overlap the first region, and including a second region of the first conductivity type where signal charges are accumulated, a third region of a second conductivity type arranged between the first and second region, and a first electrode arranged on the first main surface so as to cover the first region. Signal charges accumulated in the second region are transferred to the first region via a transfer portion formed in the third region by controlling a potential of the first electrode.
A photoelectric conversion device including a plurality of pixels arranged in a semiconductor layer comprising a first main surface and a second main surface on an opposite side of the first main surface, wherein
