Abstract:
A photoelectric conversion element includes: a plurality of pixels that are formed on a common semiconductor substrate and each of which includes an avalanche photodiode; a first line that is formed on the semiconductor substrate, is electrically connected to two or more first pixels included in the plurality of pixels, and collectively extracts output currents from the two or more first pixels; and a second line that is formed on the semiconductor substrate, is electrically connected to two or more second pixels included in the plurality of pixels, and collectively extracts output currents from the two or more second pixels. A light receiving area of each first pixel is larger than a light receiving area of each second pixel.

Claim (Index 12):
A photoelectric conversion element comprising:\n a plurality of pixels that are formed on a common semiconductor substrate and each of which includes an avalanche photodiode that operates with a common bias voltage; a first line that is formed on the semiconductor substrate, is electrically connected to two or more first pixels included in the plurality of pixels, and collectively extracts output currents from the two or more first pixels; a second line that is formed on the semiconductor substrate, is electrically connected to two or more second pixels included in the plurality of pixels, and collectively extracts output currents from the two or more second pixels; a first resistor that is connected between the first line and a fixed potential line and converts the output currents from the two or more first pixels into a first voltage signal; and a second resistor that is connected between the second line and a fixed potential line and converts the output currents from the two or more second pixels into a second voltage signal, wherein a resistance value of the second resistor is less than a resistance value of the first resistor.
