1. A light detection device, comprising:
a semiconductor substrate having a light receiving region where a plurality of cells are arranged in a first direction;
a plurality of pad electrodes which are arranged on the semiconductor substrate and each of which is electrically connected to the cell corresponding thereto among the plurality of cells; and
a plurality of wires each of which is connected to the pad electrode corresponding thereto among the plurality of pad electrodes,
wherein a stitch bond of a corresponding wire among the plurality of wires is formed on each of the pad electrodes,
a distance between each of the pad electrodes and the cell corresponding to the pad electrode is smaller than a distance between the pad electrodes connected to mutually different cells of the cells,
the plurality of pad electrodes are arranged in a first region and a second region that are spaced apart from each other with the light receiving region interposed therebetween in a second direction crossing the first direction,
the plurality of cells include a plurality of cell groups including a first cell and a second cell adjacent to each other,
the pad electrode corresponding to the first cell is arranged in the first region, and
the pad electrode corresponding to the second cell is arranged in the second region.
