Abstract
An imaging element is disclosed that includes: a semiconductor substrate; a multilayer wiring layer; a plurality of structures; and a light reflecting layer. The semiconductor substrate has a first surface as a light incidence surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface. A light receiving section of the semiconductor substrate generates electric charge through photoelectric conversion. The multilayer wiring layer has a plurality of wiring layers and is on the second surface side of the semiconductor substrate. The plurality of structures is in the multilayer wiring layer. The light reflecting layer is in the multilayer wiring layer, and forms a reflective region or a non-reflective region in a region with the interlayer insulating layer interposed in between. The region has none of the structures formed therein. The reflective region and the non-reflective region are substantially symmetrical with respect to the optical center of the pixel.
