Abstract

The present technology relates to a light receiving element, an imaging element, and an imaging device. A light receiving element includes an on-chip lens, a wiring layer, and a semiconductor layer arranged between the on-chip lens and the wiring layer. The semiconductor layer includes a first voltage application unit to which a first voltage is applied, a second voltage application unit to which a second voltage is applied, a first charge detection unit, and a second charge detection unit. The wiring layer includes at least one layer including first voltage application wiring configured to supply the first voltage, second voltage application wiring configured to supply the second voltage, and a reflection member that overlaps the first charge detection unit or the second charge detection unit, in plan view. The present technology, for example, can be applied to a light receiving element configured to measure a distance.
