Imaging unit and electronic apparatus with first and second light blocking films

Abstract

An imaging unit having a superior phase-difference detection characteristic is provided. The imaging unit includes two or more image-plane phase-difference detection pixels each including a semiconductor layer, a photoelectric converter, a charge holding section, a first light-blocking film, and a second light-blocking film. The semiconductor layer includes a front surface and a back surface on an opposite side to the front surface. The photoelectric converter is provided in the semiconductor layer, and is configured to generate electric charge corresponding to a light reception amount by photoelectric conversion. The charge holding section is provided between the front surface and the photoelectric converter in the semiconductor layer, and is configured to hold the electric charge. The first light-blocking film is positioned between the photoelectric converter and the charge holding section, and has an opening through which the electric charge is allowed to pass. The second light-blocking film is positioned on an opposite side to the first light-blocking film as viewed from the photoelectric converter. Here, all of the second light-blocking films of the two or more respective image-plane phase-difference detection pixels are provided in respective first regions, or are provided in respective second regions. The first regions each include an overlapping region that is a region overlapping the opening in a pixel region occupied by the photoelectric converter. The second regions are each a region other than the first region in the pixel region.
