ABSTRACT:
A solid-state imaging device is provided and has: three photoelectric conversion layers stacked above a semiconductor substrate1, each detecting a different color; three signal charge accumulators in a semiconductor substrate for accumulating signal charges generated in each of the three photoelectric conversion layers: and a signal readout circuit in the semiconductor substrate for reading out signals corresponding to the signal charges accumulated in the signal charge accumulators. The three signal charge accumulators are arranged in a direction in the surface of the semiconductor substrate as a pixel and a plurality of the pixels are arranged in a square lattice pattern both in the direction and a direction perpendicular thereto. The three signal charge accumulators arranged in each pixel in an odd row are arranged such that an array of the signal charge accumulators in the first sub-row of each pixel has all of the three signal charge accumulators.
