Abstract
A solid-state imaging element includes a first photoelectric conversion unit and a second photoelectric conversion unit. The first and second photoelectric conversion units are joined at joint surfaces facing each other, and include an upper electrode, a lower electrode, a photoelectric conversion film, and a storage electrode. The lower electrode of the first photoelectric conversion unit is connected to a charge storage unit via a first through electrode penetrating a semiconductor substrate. The lower electrode of the second photoelectric conversion unit is connected to the charge storage unit via: a second electrode provided on a joint surface of the second photoelectric conversion unit; a first electrode provided on a joint surface of the first photoelectric conversion unit; a second through electrode penetrating the first photoelectric conversion unit; and the first through electrode.
