Abstract
A solid-state imaging device includes: a semiconductor substrate; a photoelectric converter having a predetermined dimension in a thickness direction of the semiconductor substrate; a first charge accumulator that is provided in the semiconductor substrate and accumulates a signal charge generated by the photoelectric converter; and a transfer gate including a first electrode section and a second electrode section, the first electrode section being embedded in the semiconductor substrate, having a first dimension in the thickness direction of the semiconductor substrate, and being provided on a side of the photoelectric converter, and the second electrode section being selectively provided at a position closer to the first charge accumulator than the first electrode section and having a second dimension in the thickness direction of the semiconductor substrate smaller than the first dimension.
