IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS, IMAGE PICKUP SYSTEM, AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS

摘要

An image pickup apparatus includes a first pixel electrode connected to a pixel circuit, a second pixel electrode adjoining the first pixel electrode and connected to the pixel circuit, a photoelectric conversion film continuously covering the first and second pixel electrodes, and an opposite electrode facing the first and second pixel electrodes via the film. The film includes a recessed portion recessed toward a portion between the first and second pixel electrodes on a surface opposite to the first and second pixel electrodes. The depth of the recessed portion is greater than the first pixel electrode's thickness, and a distance from the first pixel electrode to the recessed portion is greater than a distance from the first pixel electrode to the second pixel electrode. The opposite electrode is provided continuously along the surface via the film, and the recessed portion surrounds a part of the opposite electrode.

主权项

1. An image pickup apparatus, comprising:
a first pixel electrode; a second pixel electrode adjoining to the first pixel electrode; and a photoelectric conversion film configured to continuously cover the first pixel electrode and the second pixel electrode; an opposite electrode facing the first pixel electrode and the second pixel electrode via the photoelectric conversion film,wherein
the photoelectric conversion film includes a recessed portion recessed toward a portion between the first pixel electrode and the second pixel electrode on a surface opposite to the first pixel electrode and the second pixel electrode, the depth of the recessed portion is greater than a thickness of the first pixel electrode, and the shortest distance from the first pixel electrode to the recessed portion is greater than the shortest distance from the first pixel electrode to the second pixel electrode, and the opposite electrode is provided continuously along the surface via the photoelectric conversion film, and a part of the opposite electrode is surrounded by the recessed portion.
