Abstract
Provided are an imaging device that enables formation of a film over the entirety of a film formation region, a method of producing the imaging device, an imaging apparatus, and an electronic apparatus. The imaging device includes a sensor and a glass sheet bonded to a front surface of the sensor. The glass sheet includes a recess in a peripheral portion that is outside a film formation region over which an inorganic film is to be formed. The recess corresponds to a claw on a periphery of an opening of a tray for a vapor deposition process for the inorganic film. This allows the entirety of the film formation region of the glass sheet to be exposed from the opening when the imaging device is set in the opening, and thus enables formation of the inorganic film over the entirety of the film formation region.
