Abstract
A solid-state imaging device includes a transfer transistor and an element separation section. The transfer transistor includes a vertical gate electrode. At least a portion of the element separation section is disposed apart from the vertical gate electrode with a semiconductor layer interposed in between. The semiconductor layer has a high concentration of impurities of a first electrical conduction type. The element separation section includes an oxide film insulator.
