Abstract
The present technology relates to a solid-state imaging apparatus designed to improve sensitivity while preventing worsening of color mixing. A substrate, a plurality of photoelectric conversion regions provided in the substrate, a color filter provided on the upper side of the photoelectric conversion regions, a trench provided through the substrate and provided between the photoelectric conversion regions, and a recessed region including a plurality of recesses provided on the light-receiving surface side of the substrate above the photoelectric conversion regions are included. The color filter over adjacent two of the photoelectric conversion regions is of the same color. The number of the recesses of the recessed region is larger at a high image height than at an image height center. The present technology can be applied to, for example, a back-illuminated solid-state imaging apparatus etc.
