Abstract:
An imaging device includes: a semiconductor substrate; pixels arranged two-dimensionally along row and column directions on the substrate; and one or more interconnection layers located on the semiconductor substrate, including a first signal line extending along the column direction and a second signal line to which a multi-level signal is applied. A first pixel includes: a photoelectric converter; a charge storage region; a first interconnection electrically connected to the charge storage region; and a first transistor that includes a first diffusion layer electrically connected to the first signal line and a second diffusion layer electrically connected to the second signal line and that outputs a signal to the first signal line. The first and second signal lines and the first interconnection are arranged in a first interconnection layer. The second signal line is located between the first interconnection and the first signal line, viewed perpendicularly to the substrate.

Claim (Index 9):
The imaging device according to  claim 1 , wherein\n the one or more interconnection layers include a second interconnection layer adjacent to the first interconnection layer, and each of the first interconnection and the second signal line are arranged in both the first interconnection layer and the second interconnection layer.
