LIGHT DETECTION DEVICE, IMAGING DEVICE AND DISTANT IMAGE ACQUISITION DEVICE

摘要

A photosensitive region includes a semiconductor substrate 40 made of a P-type semiconductor, and N-type semiconductor regions 41 and 42 formed on the surface of the semiconductor substrate 40. Accordingly, each photosensitive portion includes a portion of the semiconductor substrate 40 and a pair of the regions 41 and 42, thus configuring a photodiode. Each of the regions 41 and 42 is in a shape of an approximate triangle, and is formed so that one side of the regions 41 is adjacent to one side of the region 42, and vice versa, in one pixel. A first wire 44 is for electrically connecting the regions 41 on one side in each pixel across a first direction, and is provided extending in the first direction between the pixels. The secondwire 47 is for electrically connecting the regions 47 on the other side in each pixel across a second direction, and is provided extending in the second direction between the pixels.
