Abstract

Provided is a solid-state imaging device including a photoelectric conversion section, a first transistor, a floating diffusion layer, a second transistor, a conductive layer, and a wiring layer. The photoelectric conversion section photoelectrically converts incident light and accumulates electric charge. The first transistor transfers the electric charge accumulated in the photoelectric conversion section. The floating diffusion layer retains the electric charge transferred by the first transistor. The second transistor amplifies the electric charge retained in the floating diffusion layer. The conductive layer conducts to the floating diffusion layer. The wiring layer causes capacitive coupling with the conductive layer and conducts to a source of the second transistor.
