1. An imaging device, comprising:
a plurality of pixels, wherein each pixel of the plurality of pixels includes:
an amplification transistor;
a photoelectric conversion unit;
a holding unit;
a plurality of floating diffusions shared among the plurality of pixels;
a plurality of boost lines that includes a first boost line and a second boost line, wherein
the first boost line is different from the second boost line, and
the second boost line is in contact with a gate of the amplification transistor; and
an interconnect line configured to connect the plurality of floating diffusions, wherein the interconnect line is parallel to the first boost line.
