Abstract
Provided is a solid-state imaging element that includes a photoelectric conversion unit, a transfer transistor, and an internal gate. The photoelectric conversion unit photoelectrically converts incident light. The transfer transistor transfers a charge generated by the photoelectric conversion unit. The internal gate is disposed adjacent to the transfer transistor inside the photoelectric conversion unit and deepens the potential of at least a partial region in the photoelectric conversion unit.
