Abstract

A solid-state imaging device is provided and includes: a substrate; a plurality of photoelectric conversion elements arranged in a one-dimensional or two-dimensional array above the substrate, the plurality of photoelectric conversion elements being divided into a plurality of photoelectric conversion element groups; a plurality of semiconductor substrates between the substrate and the plurality of photoelectric conversion elements, each of the plurality of semiconductor substrates corresponding to each of the plurality of photoelectric conversion element groups; and a signal output section in the plurality of semiconductor substrates. The signal output section outputs a signal corresponding to an electric charge generated in each photoelectric conversion elements of a photoelectric conversion element group corresponding to a semiconductor substrate.
