Abstract:
1. A photoelectric conversion device, comprising: a photo-electric conversion part including a first electrode layer, a second electrode layer and a photoelectric conversion layer provided between the first electrode layer and the second electrode layer wherein light is made incident from an upper part of the second electrode layer into the photoelectric conversion layer; the photoelectric conversion layer generates a charge containing an electron and a hole corresponding to the incident light from the upper part of the second electrode layer; the first electrode layer works as an electrode for extracting the hole and is separated in every pixel; the second electrode layer works as an electrode for discharging the electron and is made common in every pixel; and the first electrode layer and the second electrode layer are applied with a voltage such that the electron transfers into the second electrode layer and that the hole transfers into the first electrode layer, the photoelectric conversion device further comprising: a semiconductor substrate provided in a lower part of the first electrode layer; a hole storage part that stores the holes as transferred into the first electrode layer and is formed within the semiconductor substrate; and a connecting part that electrically connects the hole storage part to the first electrode layer.
