Abstract

See full text

A semiconductor substrate has a first surface and a second surface which is opposite to the first surface. A photoelectric conversion portion has a PN junction configured with first and second semiconductor regions of different conductivity types. A buried portion is buried in the semiconductor substrate and includes an electrode and a dielectric member located between the electrode and the semiconductor substrate and in contact with the second semiconductor region. The second semiconductor region is located in a position deeper than the first semiconductor region. The buried portion is located to extend from a first surface to a position deeper than the first semiconductor region. Electric potentials are supplied to the first semiconductor region, the second semiconductor region, and the electrode in such a manner that an inversion layer occurring between the electrode and the second semiconductor region and the first semiconductor region are in contact with each other.
