Abstract:
1. A solid-state imaging apparatus comprising: a substrate; an insulating layer above the substrate; a plurality of first electrodes in a pixel region above the insulating layer, the plurality of first electrode being arranged in a two dimensional array with intervals therebetween; a second electrode covering the first electrodes in plan-view; a photoelectric conversion layer between the second electrode and the first electrodes; a planarization support layer above the insulating layer, the planarization support layer being in a peripheral region of the pixel region; and a connecting electrode in a peripheral region of the planarization support layer in plan-view, the connecting electrode being configured to apply an electrical voltage to the second electrode, wherein the planarization support layer and the first electrodes are at a same layer level above the insulating layer, the planarization support layer is composed of a plurality of planarization support layer portions that are arranged above the insulating layer with intervals therebetween, each of the planarization support layer portions is equal to each of the first electrodes in terms of shape and size, and the intervals between the planarization support layer portions are equal to the intervals between the first electrodes.
