Abstract
The present technology relates to a solid-state image pickup device that suppresses dark current while increasing the saturated charge amount, a manufacturing method therefor, and an electronic apparatus. The device includes a first photoelectric converter on a front surface side opposite to a light incident surface side of a substrate; a second photoelectric converter stacked on the first photoelectric converter; and a pixel isolation section, the pixel isolation section passing through the substrate. The first photoelectric converter includes a first plane-direction PN junction region joined in a plane direction parallel to a light incident surface of the substrate and a first perpendicular-direction PN junction region along a side wall of the pixel isolation section. The second photoelectric converter includes a second plane-direction PN junction region and a second perpendicular-direction PN junction region. The present technology can also be applied to a solid-state image pickup device or the like, for example.
