Abstract:
To reduce the influence of noise in the imaging device configured with the plurality of semiconductor chips. A first semiconductor chip includes a signal input transistor in which an input signal which is a signal corresponding to incident light is input to a control terminal, a reference input transistor which forms a differential pair along with the signal input transistor and in which a reference signal is input to a control terminal, a first signal line which delivers a change in a current flowing in one of the signal input transistor and the reference input transistor as a result of comparison between the input signal and the reference signal when the current is changed in accordance with a difference between the input signal and the reference signal, and a first pad which is electrically connected to the first signal line. A second semiconductor chip includes a processing circuit which processes the result of the comparison, a second signal line which is electrically connected to the processing circuit and delivers the result of the comparison to the processing circuit, and a second pad which is electrically connected to the second signal line and the first pad.

Claim (Index 28):
The imaging device of  claim 26 , wherein the semiconductor region of the first current transistor is electrically connected to the semiconductor region of the second differential transistor by at least one via plug and at least one wiring layer.
