Original Abstract Submitted
A photoelectric conversion device includes a structure in which first and second substrates are stacked. The first substrate includes pixels, first vertical signal lines extending parallel to a first direction, and first joints respectively electrically connected to the first vertical signal lines. The second substrate includes second joints respectively electrically connected to the first joints, second vertical signal lines arranged so as to extend parallel to the first direction, column circuits respectively electrically connected to the second vertical signal lines, connecting lines respectively electrically connected to the second joints, and extending parallel to a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, and an interlayer connection configured to electrically connect each of the second vertical signal lines and the corresponding connecting line of the connecting lines.
