Abstract
To enhance a charge transfer efficiency in a transfer gate having a vertical gate electrode. A solid-state imaging element includes a photoelectric conversion section, a charge accumulating section, and a transfer gate. The photoelectric conversion section is formed in a depth direction of a semiconductor substrate, and generates charges corresponding to a quantity of received light. The charge accumulating section accumulates the charges generated by the photoelectric conversion section. The transfer gate transfers the charges generated by the photoelectric conversion section to the charge accumulating section. The transfer gate includes a plurality of vertical gate electrodes which is filled to a predetermined depth from an interface of the semiconductor substrate, and at least a part of a diameter is different in the depth direction of the semiconductor substrate.
