Abstract
The present technology relates to a solid-state imaging apparatus and electronic equipment capable of coping with fluctuations in characteristics depending on the direction of current flow. There is provided a solid-state imaging apparatus including: a pixel array unit that includes pixels having a photoelectric conversion unit and arranged in a two-dimensional form, in which a transistor of the pixel has a structure in which an amount of overlap to an underside of a gate by a source-side LDD region differs from an amount of overlap to the underside of the gate by a drain-side LDD region, and a junction depth of the source-side LDD region differs from a junction depth of the drain-side LDD region. The present technology may be applied, for example, to a CMOS image sensor.
