Claim:
1. An imaging device comprising a plurality of pixel units including a first pixel unit and a second pixel unit, each of the first and second pixel units comprising: a first photoelectric conversion region; a second photoelectric conversion region; a first transfer MOS transistor including a first transfer gate electrode and configured to transfer a charge generated by the first photoelectric conversion region; a second transfer MOS transistor including a second transfer gate electrode and configured to transfer a charge generated by the second photoelectric conversion region, an amplification MOS transistor configured to output a signal based on the charge generated by the first photoelectric conversion region and/or a signal based on the charge generated by the second photoelectric conversion region, and a selection MOS transistor connected to the amplification MOS transistor, wherein the amplification MOS transistor of the second pixel unit and the selection MOS transistor of the second pixel unit are provided in an active region, at least a part of the active region is provided between the first and second photoelectric conversion regions of the first pixel unit, and the selection MOS transistor of the second pixel unit is provided between the first and second photoelectric conversion regions of the first pixel unit.
