PHOTOELECTRIC CONVERSION APPARATUS AND IMAGE PICKUP SYSTEM

The invention relates to a photoelectric conversion apparatus and an image pickup system. The photoelectric conversion apparatus includes a plurality of units each including a charge generation regiondisposed in a semiconductor layer. Each of a first unit and a second unit of the plurality of units includes a charge storage region configured to store charges transferred thereto from the charge generation region, a dielectric region located above the charge generation region and surrounded by an insulator layer, and a first light-shielding layer covering the charge storage region that is located between the insulator layer and the semiconductor layer, and the first light-shielding layer having an opening located above the charge generation region. The charge generation region of the firstunit is able to receive light through the opening of the first light-shielding layer. The charge generation region of the second unit is covered with a second light-shielding layer. 本公开内容涉及光电转换装置和图像拾取系统。种光电转换装置包括多个单元，每个单元包括设置在
