Abstract
There is provided a solid-state imaging device having a configuration suitable for high integration. The solid-state imaging device includes a semiconductor layer, a photoelectric converter, a storage capacitor, and a first transistor. The photoelectric converter is provided in the semiconductor layer, and generates an electric charge corresponding to a received light amount by photoelectric conversion. The storage capacitor is provided on the semiconductor layer, and includes a first insulating film having a first electrical film thickness. The first transistor is provided on the semiconductor layer, and includes a second insulating film having a second electrical film thickness larger than the first electrical film thickness.
