Abstract:
A photoelectric conversion element includes: a first compound semiconductor layer  31  made of a first compound semiconductor material having a first conductivity type; a photoelectric conversion layer  34  formed on the first compound semiconductor layer  31;  a second compound semiconductor layer  32  covering the photoelectric conversion layer  34  and made of a second compound semiconductor material having the first conductivity type; a second conductivity type region  35  formed at least in a part of the second compound semiconductor layer  32,  having a second conductivity type different from the first conductivity type, and reaching the photoelectric conversion layer; an element isolation layer  34  surrounding a lateral surface of the photoelectric conversion layer; a first electrode  51  formed on the second conductivity type region; and a second electrode  52  electrically connected to the first compound semiconductor layer  31.

Claim (Index 15):
