A solid-state imaging device is provided with a substrate in which a plurality of photoelectric conversion parts is formed, and with a light incident surface layer formed on the light incident surface of the substrate. The substrate and the light incident surface layer include a compound semiconductor containing germanium. A concentration of the germanium in the light incident surface layer increases toward a surface side remote from the substrate. At the time of production, isotropic etching is performed after a lattice-shaped groove is formed in the light incident surface layer, so that a groove width of the lattice-shaped groove increases toward a light incident surface side of the light incident surface layer due to a difference in etching rate attributed to the concentration of the germanium, and an uneven structure having a tapered bump can thus be formed relatively easily.
