Abstract:
The present technology relates to an imaging device that can reduce the size thereof, and to an electronic apparatus. An upper substrate and a lower substrate are stacked. A pixel and a comparing unit that compares the voltage of a signal from the pixel with the ramp voltage are provided on the upper substrate, the ramp voltage varying with time. A storage unit that stores a code value obtained at a time when a comparison result from the comparing unit is inverted is provided on the lower substrate. The comparing unit is formed with a transistor that receives the voltage of the signal from the pixel at the gate, receives the ramp voltage at the source, and outputs a drain voltage. Accordingly, the imaging device can be made smaller in size. The present technology can be applied to image sensors.

Claim (Index 11):
An imaging device comprising:\n an upper substrate, including:\n a pixel that receives incident light and that generates a signal in response to the received incident light, the pixel including a photodiode, a transfer transistor and a reset transistor; \n an amplification transistor, wherein a gate of the amplification transistor is configured to receive the signal generated by the pixel, wherein a source of the transistor is configured to receive a reference voltage, and \n a lower substrate, including:\n a latch circuit, wherein the latch circuit stores a signal based on an output of the transistor.
